Sub: Poor maintenance of tourist spots

Sir/Madam

I want to highlight the utter neglect and the power maintenance of our tourist spots in Delhi. The Archaeological Department of India and the concerned authorities must take immediate steps to preserve our national heritage from degradation, encroachments and vandalism.

Last Sunday, the visit to the Tughlaqabad Fort in South Delhi disappointed me beyond words. No doubt, the exterior, the outerwalls of the fort have been given a face-lift. The situation inside speaks of utter neglect and poor maintenance. The ruins are now shelter for druggists, gamblers and all kinds of anti-social elements. There is no security and safety for a few tourists who venture to visit the place. Most parts of the fort have been encroached by the greedy property dealers and musclemen of the area. The Tughlaqabad Fort is a very important heritage site of historical value. The complex has the grave of Ghasuddin Tughlaq and many other buildings raised during the time of Mohammad-bin-Tughlaq.

This place of immense historical value and a great tourist spot, needs immediate attention and protective steps. The place must be cleared off the illegal encroachments without any further delay. Even pathways, lawns and lights need immediate attention. Security of tourists, especially of women and foreign tourists must be ensured to attract tourists in large numbers. The place must be made tourist friendly. I hope the necessary steps will be taken immediately by the concerned authorities in this regard.

Yours faithfully

Maya/Mohan
