Chandigarh. With a view to giving a facelift to the Mani Majra Fort, which is in a deplorable state, the Punjab Governor and UT administrator, Gen S.F. Rodrigues (retd), has asked the home secretary and the municipal corporation authorities to prepare a holistic plan for its renovation to make it an attractive tourist spot and to establish its historical significance. Accompanied by Jean Rodrigues, home secretary Krishna Mohan, the local councillor and senior officers of the corporation and the administration, General Rodrigues went round the fort, spread over 4 acres, and expressed displeasure over its dilapidated state. He asked the home secretary to constitute a core group comprising representatives of Mani Majra town, trustees and senior officers of the administration to take steps to create necessary infrastructure to preserve the monument. He said the development of this monument should be integrated with the beautification of Mani Majra. Later, General Rodrigues also visited a temple at Nagar Khera in Mani Majra and paid obeisance.
