equipments is necessary in order visitors come both for pleasure and
gaining knowledge. Investments are necessary for it.
`We have unique tools in the region; a large telescope (1000 km), as
well as a telescope (1m) which is in the range of the best 5 in its
kind in the world. But the equipments need updating,' the director of
the observatory said, reminding that it is a long time there has been
no updating in the observatory.

interested investor for purpose of improving the conditions, which
