The western façade of the baoli could not withstand the heavy rainfall experienced in Hyderabad in 2013 and in two successive storms, the entire western façade caved in. Following the complete collapse, the Wakf Tribunal permitted the Department of Archaeology & Museums to commence conservation works.
Structural assessment of the baoli was carried out by Stand Engineers, a UK based firm familiar with historic structures-before restoration.
