Sub: Damage to historical monuments due to negligence
Dear Sir
I write to you to express my concern over the flagrant damage being done to precious and invaluable historical monuments not only in Jaipur but throughout our country. What shocks the most is the negligence and apathy of the civic authorities to the maintenance and conservation of these monuments. These monuments are not only the invaluable symbols of our past civilization, but also a very rich source of earnings for the local as well as national economy. The benefits of these monuments support the lives of many local people. These historic buildings help create vibrant, cultural downtowns that engender tourism, art, festivals, and other activities which in turn draw investment, revenue, and economic growth. These historical buildings provide thousands of job opportunities for thousands of people. I know your good self must be aware of the consequences if foreign and local tourists stop visiting these ramshackle monuments!
I appeal to you to look into the gravity of the situation. The damaged parts of these buildings must be renovated and restored. Such provisions must be made as keep the tourists from physically coming very close to these monuments. There must be fencing around delicate parts of these buildings so that tourists can just watch them from a safe distance. Installation of CCTV cameras, putting guards on duty, cleanliness, and providing some facilities for the tourists also must be looked into. I hope you will look into the matter and do your level best to maintain these symbols and treasures of our cultural heritage.
Yours truly,
