In 1968, the original Clock Tower was constructed so that people could tell time.
The tower’s bells used to ring every hour.
Unfortunately, it was demolished in 1994 owing to traffic congestion, and a replacement one began construction in 2018 but has not yet been officially inaugurated.“According to officials, three pipes attached to the fountain of the clock tower have been stolen.
Several others are harmed. The three stolen pipes have coloured lights utilising German technology. According to Linge Gowda, the executive engineer of Smart City, the water supply to the fountain has been switched off.
“This is the second time the pipes have been compromised. In addition, the area surrounding the fountain is littered with trash and filth. “A grill and netting will be erected around the fountain to prevent this,” he stated.
