Reopen Mariott
In a never say die spirit, Sadruddin Hashwani, owner of the hotel that was reduced to a burnt shell after Saturday’s suicide bombing that killed 53 people, has promised that the Marriott would be ready in less than four months.
"We’ll try our level best to open the hotel on the first day of the new year," Hashwani said.
The work has already begun on Tuesday, with more than 100 labourers clearing the debris inside the complex. There were trolleys, lifters, pulling machines and human power toiling to rebuild the hotel virtually from scratch. Though the building smouldered for two days, the structure has been declared safe and sound by experts.
