✨The Ratna Bhandar had been opened in 2918 for the last time. The lock may not be opened with the keys. If such a situation arises, the lock will be broken. The State government has to give permission. This is believed to be the major point of the SOP.
The Ratna Bhandar panel has set July 14 for opening of the treasure house. Repairing of walls and roof of inner Ratna Bhandar and inventorization are the two major works to be done.
