Preservation of Mehrauli s heritage does not seem to strike a chord with its electorate

Delhi | Tuesday | 28th January, 2020

Summary:

Repeated encroachments, desecration and the lackadaisical approach taken by the authorities have ensured that most of its historical structures have either vanished, desecrated or have been encroached upon. Even though the electorate in the old part of Mehrauli express regret, among various electoral issues preservation of Mehrauli's rich past does not seem to be the topmost priority. Not only in Old Delhi but there is also a Jama Masjid in Mehrauli. Sadly the structure that was built hundred years before Jama Masjid in Old Delhi today lay in ruins. We have been blamed for degrading Delhi but does anyone like to live in slums..
