The World Monuments Fund, on Thursday, returned the restored Residency building to Osmania University authorities after a 20-year conservation effort.
Minister for Tourism Srinivas Goud, who was present at the event, expressed happiness at the way the building has been restored. Sitting on a chair on the right side of the Darbar Hall, the Minister was surprised to learn that the flooring and the ceiling of the particular section had collapsed in 2015.
“Ensure that this building which is part of Hyderabad’s glory becomes accessible to people and they learn about the history of the region,” said Mr. Goud after the MoU signing ceremony. The building now, has an interpretation centre on the first floor that gives its historical context.
