State Central Library grapples with infra issues

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The State Central Library at Afzalgunj has received Rs 1.12 crore under the National Library Mission from the Union ministry of culture, according to a submission in the Lok Sabha. British architect Vincent Jerome Esch designed the Asafiya Library, and the proposal was part of a riverfront redesign by the erstwhile chief engineer Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya following the 1908 floods.
