The historic Raja Rai Clock Tower in Hyderabad has remained non-functional for over five months after a blast and fire at a nearby electronics showroom damaged the structure. Residents are demanding immediate restoration of the century-old landmark, once part of a grand Nizam-era palace.
A late-night fire at Gomati Electronics in Shalibanda was followed by a powerful CNG car explosion that froze the century-old Raja Rai Clock Tower at 10:25 pm. Police are reviewing CCTV footage as residents remain shocked by the dramatic incident.
