Forbes Transformer Station (FTS) Building in N.R.Mohalla is a historical building, having been built in 1927 during the reign of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar. But due to a lack of basic maintenance over the last few decades, it is decaying fast. Large chunks of plaster have fallen off and trees, some of them several feet high have grown on its walls and roof (See photo). If corrective action is not taken immediately, sections of the ceiling and the walls will be falling off under the effect of the tree roots.
It is surprising that Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation has overlooked the decay of FTS building for so long. We hope that CESC takes up the restoration of FTS building immediately and protect this historical building for the future.
