Not just restoration, clock towers need caretakers to keep ticking
Shaik Mahmood recently restored the Dufferin clock tower in Mysuru, which is nearing its 140th anniversary. Regular maintenance is crucial as the clock requires winding every four days to keep functioning. Similar challenges are faced by other heritage clock towers, which often stop working after restoration due to lack of upkeep. In Mangaluru, the Nayak family maintains a newly constructed clock tower, ensuring it remains operational.
