<h1>Corporate group partners with port authority to restore historic Kolkata ghat preserving clay idol-making heritage</h1> A corporate group has partnered with a port authority to restore a historic ghat in Kolkata known for its traditional clay idol-making community. The public-private partnership involves signing an MOU for redevelopment, restoration and beautification of the riverfront location under a cleanliness initiative. The project aims to make the area cleaner, safer and more accessible to artisans, locals and tourists while preserving cultural heritage. The ghat has previously suffered from neglect, erosion, poor waste management and declining infrastructure. Design architects are currently developing the heritage-compliant restoration project with environmental sustainability considerations.
