short by Ria Kapoor / on Monday, 25 July, 2022
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has decided to restore 18 drinking water fountains called 'pyaus' and create heritage tourist circuit of these structures. Reports said some 'pyaus' were constructed with troughs for horses and cattle. Reports quoted experts as saying that 80-100 'pyaus' may have disappeared over the years. Some have been traced with help of history, photographs and films.
