Restored “Gachibowli” stepwell (Gachi- lime mortar, bowli- well)

Thanks @ChirecSchool, @rainwater_info, @KalpanaRamesh8 for bringing it back to life ( from being nearly extinct being covered in debris just 6 months back)

“Restored “Gachibowli” stepwell (Gachi- lime mortar, bowli- well) Thanks @ChirecSchool, @rainwater_info, @KalpanaRamesh8 for bringing it back to life ( from being nearly extinct being covered in debris just 6 months back) Requesting more schools & #CSR participation,” (sic) he tweeted.
