NDMC’s plan to make a clock tower at Talkatora roundabout moves forward

The New Delhi Municipal Council’s plan to install a clock tower at Talkatora roundabout in central Delhi is moving forward, with the Delhi Urban Arts Commission reviewing the proposal and seeking additional technical details, officials aware of the project said on Tuesday. Bells of the old Town hall clock tower are now kept in a glass frame, with replicas replacing the originals. Officials also observed that structures like clock towers are traditionally placed in high-footfall areas like markets or train stations,” official added. Delhi’s oldest clock tower “Northbrook Clocktower” used to exist at Chandni Chowk outside the old Town Hall and was partially demolished in the 1950s after collapsing.
