Kutch district administration would send a proposal about renovating historical Prag Mahal, which was damaged in 2001 earthquake, to state government and Gujarat Tourism Development Corporation.
    
"The proposal to repair Prag Mahal would be forwarded to government for its consideration, since it was learnt that it is a private property," Kutch district collector M Thenarsan said today.
