PROPOSAL
NEED FOR THE PROJECTDegenerating Heritage public buildings create a concern for safety of users and concern for historic value of a building it self. Continuous degradation leads either to demolition of building where the piece of history is lost, or abandoning the building which creates a dark path in a CBD area. The State Government had released funds for the renovation of Lansdowne building but the works failed to take off following the dual stand of experts. Now, the matter was pending before High Court.
Ending years of uncertainty over the fate of dilapidated Devaraja Market and Lansdowne buildings in Central Business District (CBD) of the city, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday announced that the two buildings will be rebuilt.
