Its really a shame, they should have done it long ago. Other countries all take care of their heritage.
Anyway, its better late than never. 😉

Why can't Gov restore these places just like Bagh-E-Babur is restored 😕

Some parts of FS are in immensely bad condition !

The govt. ought to take steps towards restoring the ruins.

Such historical places need to be kept separate from settlements (The way the Chittorgarh fort is well maintained and desolate of settlements just a feet away, as we can spot in Jodha's Rang Mahal pic) or they would sorta lose their importance in the native's hearts.

After all this is our ancestral heritage.

Fancy turning a place of historical significance into a buffalo shed. 😡

EDIT: Thanks for sharing 'em with us. 😊
