The white dial on the eastern side clock of the historic Charminar was damaged on Monday.

Mohammed Rabbani of Wahed Watch at Mahboob Chowk along with his colleague Madhusudhan Chary, had done temporary repairs to the more than 130 year-old clock.

“On being informed about the damage to the dial of the clock, we attended to it today. A special glue paste was used to join the broken dial and restore it to its near original semblance,” Rabbani said.
