Imphal, May 31 : Kangla fort, the famous heritage structure at Imphal, is getting a facelift in a bid to give fillip to tourism in the region.
It was on the demand of the people of Manipur, who regard the Kangla as the embodiment of their culture and heritage, that Assam Rifles vacated the fort in November
2004.
Soon after the Manipur Government began restoration of the fort by implementing in a phased manner the approved Concept Development Plan (CDP) of Kangla prepared by Professor Nalini Thakur of the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi.
As per the recommendations of CDP, financial allocation worth over 100 million rupee has been set aside for its development.
