A 90 meter high Guy rope supported steel Akashvani tower in Dwarka, Gujarat has been dismantled as a precautionary measure in view of the impending cyclone Biparjoy. This has been done to prevent any mishap and minimize damages to life and property in surrounding areas. The move follows a safety audit of this 35 year old tower by the structural experts from NIT Surat and CCW who recommended the dismantling of this tower in January, 2023. Simultaneously, Akashvani is working on restoration of services from Dwarka by using the available resources.
