ANIA 120-year-old clock installed at the "Ghanta Ghar" school in Punjab's Kapurthala by then Maharaja Jagatjit Singh has been repaired and is functioning again after a gap of more than a decade, officials said on Tuesday.
Deputy Commissioner Vishesh Sarangal said he came to know that the clock was not functioning for more than a decade during a recent visit to the Government Senior Secondary School (Ghanta Ghar).
