In a bid to promote heritage based-tourism here, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has finalised the ambitious project to renovate and beautify the 600-year-old Bhadra fort and its adjoining areas in heart of the city.
AMC which has already bid for the UNESCO world heritage status for the city, last week signed a memorandum with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to restore the splendour of Bhadra Fort built by the founder of the city, Ahmed Shah, in 1411 AD.
The project aims to beautify the half a kilometre stretch from the fort where Sultan Ahmed Shah used to hold his royal court to the Teen Darwaja in the next two years.
The area between Bhadra Fort and Teen Darwaja will be an exclusive pedestrian zone with a specially designed walkway besides various landscape and design elements like fountains, lighting, swanky street furniture, signage and public amenities will built to beautify the Bhadra Plaza.
