History
Navalrai Clock Tower was built in 1914 in what used to be a fish and meat market at Hirabad.[3] It was named after Naval Rai, a duty collector in the region.[2] The tower was constructed by the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation when Dewan Chand Dayaram was president and was designed by P.C. Thadani.[4][2] The stones used in the construction were brought from Delhi.[4]
In the 1990s, the tower and its halls were renovated.[4]
