Adilabad's 108-Year-Old Clock Tower: A Neglected Historical Gem
- •Adilabad's Gadiyar Ghar (Clock Tower), built in 1917 during the Nizam era, is a 108-year-old historical structure.
- •Originally, the clock tower featured large clocks on all four sides and bells audible up to a kilometer, serving as the town's primary time indicator.
- •Elders recall the clock's accuracy, with mechanics from Hyderabad called for repairs, but it eventually fell silent and stopped functioning.
