Reviving Chotelal Ki Ghat: Heritage Restoration Initiative

Indian Hotels Company Ltd (IHCL) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port in Kolkata to restore the historic Chotelal Ki Ghat along the Hooghly riverfront.

This ambitious project, endorsed by heritage conservation organization INTACH, is set to receive an investment of nearly Rs 5 crore from IHCL's CSR initiative over a span of three years.

The Grade I heritage site, dating back to the 1870s, will undergo conservation, beautification, and landscaping efforts aimed at benefiting local artists, vendors, residents, and tourists, while preserving the ghat's cultural significance.
