Larsen and Toubro (L&T) conducted the first survey to repair damaged temples in the Govind Sagar Lake in Bilaspur district.
The state government has envisaged a project of Rs 1,400 crore for the repair of the temples submerged in the Govind Sagar Lake that were built in 1963 after the construction of the Bhakra Dam on the Sutlej.
According to Pankaj Rai, DC, Bilaspur, a team of L&T visited various sites. He added that a detailed project report would be prepared before starting this ambitious project.
According to DC, Chief Minister had announced that Bilaspur town would be restored to its former glory and a provision of Rs 1,400 crore had been made for the purpose. He added that besides L&T, some international companies would also be roped in for the effective execution of the project.
According to Rai, the project would not only beautify the old town but also bring alive historical art, culture and tradition. This would also make Bilaspur a new tourist destination.
