A large chunk of the historic Jaisalmer fort in Rajasthan collapsed during a restoration session of the UNESCO World Heritage site on 25 August.

The 12th Century Jaisalmer fort has been undergoing restoration work for the last two weeks.
According to reports, the roads were barricaded after the mishap. Police forces have been deployed as per the directions given the district administration.
