Dholpur's Nihal Tower Gets Lightning Protection: Historic Clock Tower Shielded

• Dholpur's 150-foot-tall Nihal Tower, a historic clock tower, has been equipped with radioactive lightning conductors.
• The tower, built from red and white sandstone, is an 8-story landmark on Gaurav Path, Dholpur.
• High humidity near the Chambal River makes the region prone to lightning strikes, posing a risk to the tall structure.
• Radioactive lightning conductors absorb high voltage lightning and safely channel it into the ground, protecting the tower and a 100-meter surrounding area.
• Similar protective measures have also been installed at the sacred Teerthraj Machkund Dham to safeguard its ancient temples.

Why It Matters: Dholpur's iconic Nihal Tower and Machkund Dham are now protected from lightning with advanced technology.
