The bunker is spread over a large 5000 sq. ft. area and the rooms on the either side also had names mentioned as , Shell Store , Gun shell , Cartridges , Shell lift , pump workshop .  This bunker was closed after independence. It is surprising that after many decades the  bunker is still intact. Interestingly, the entire underground bunker has been designed in such a way that it has the facility for water to be drained out and fresh air to be circulated inside the bunker .
