Charminar, the symbol of Hyderabad, has suffered damage after a piece of lime stucco work on one of its minarets fell off, officials said on Thursday. A portion of the stucco work got detached from the granite slab on the minaret facing Mecca Masjid side, and fell off late on Wednesday reportedly after unseasonal rains in the city, sending panic among the people around the monument.
Police cordoned off the area where the debris fell. A large number of onlookers gathered near the monument.
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) had undertaken restoration work for the monument some time back. While incidents of lime plasters peeling off are not new, the latest damage raised new concerns about the safety of the iconic structure.
