The timber gate of Kalupur Darwaza, one of the over a dozen historic gates built over 400 years ago, around the old walled city of Ahmedabad has collapsed.
No casualty has been reported in the incident, an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) official said today adding that the reason behind the incident was being probed and the efforts of restoration were also on. A team of ASI has visited the spot.
Kalupur Darwaza, situated closer to modern day Ahmedabad railway station is one of the protected monuments in and around the city under the custody of the ASI.
Earlier in October last year one person was killed when during restoration work a portion of another such historic gate, Khanpur Darwaza, had collapsed.
