More than a year after the BMC started building the foundation for Fitzgerald Fountain at the Metro junction in Marine Lines, the restored parts of the 157-year-old structure were finally shifted to their forever home on Wednesday. The civic officials say only the finishing touches remain and that the cast iron fountain will be functional within a month.

The civic body had started restoring the fountain in 2018, but they realised that around 200 parts were missing. The restoration team, comprising 150 experts and staff members, prepared a detailed design of the fountain so that they could cast moulds for the replicas of the missing pieces.
