Background
[edit]During that time, due to a lack of funds, clocks could not be installed in the Clock Tower and the Municipal Council also did not install clocks citing the financial crisis, while the responsibility of installing clocks was of the Municipal Administration. People who kept raising the issue of installing clocks in the Clock Tower demanded the then DM Darshan Singh Bains to install clocks in the Clock Tower in the year 1983. Two years later, i.e. in 1985, after 59 years, clocks were installed in the Clock Tower[3]
