The 17th-century Bansilalpet stepwell in Secunderabad which has been restored to its original glory will be inaugurated on December 5 by MAUD Minister KT Rama Rao. The State government with the cooperation of various departments has brought back the past glory of the ancient stepwell that lay in ruins.
The stepwell, revived in Bansilalpet, has also caught Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s attention. During his recent Mann ki Baat, he praised the efforts of officials to restore the structure. Modi said he was happy as most of the people in India had made water conservation a life mission. The Bansilalpet stepwell is one such stepwell that is centuries old and is a part of our heritage. This stepwell was earlier filled with garbage and debris, but the campaign to revive the stepwell was successful, he said.
