“Did you go up the tower? There were wooden steps I remember,” says Sharma as he remembers being at the garden the day Pandit Nehru surveyed the city that was to be Chandigarh. “The tower had steps leading to it. It had four sides and Pandit Nehru looked around from each. This is a very important place for the city and needs to be highlighted,” he says. Strangely, while the garden itself looks cared for with its wrought iron benches, cemented footpaths, flower beds... the sites of importance are in neglect.
