ASI TO RESTORE HISTORIC BARAPULLA BRIDGE IN NIZAMUDDIN
The Daily Guardian
|August 12, 2024
The historic 400-year old Barapulla bridge in Nizamuddin has been handed over to the Archaeological Survey of India and it will restore the structure in 3 months, said Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena on Sunday.

“Delighted to share, Delhi’s another heritage- 400 years old Barapulla Bridge (with 12 piers) will soon regain its lost glory. The bridge, which was under heavy encroachment during my visit last Sunday, was handed over to ASI today, which will restore the structure in 3 months, “ Saxena said in a post on X.
He visited the bridge and reviewed the progress of its restoration work on Sunday.
This was his second visit to the bridge in just a week, the first visit being on August 4. The structure was lying decrepit under heavy encroachment and was reduced to a dump yard of debris and garbage from the nearby localities.
