“A detailed report for the beautification of Dhruv Tila, Nanarao Memorial, Sita Rasoi and Valmiki Ashram has been sent to the Central government for its approval. As soon as we get the approval and the budget, we will start the work. As Bithoor has a lot of historical importance, the proposal aims at regaining the old glory of historical buildings and religious places.
