Summary:
A+ A-Despite enough funds at its disposal, the Archaeology Department is doing little for the restoration work of the Ashoorkhana whose condition becomes risky in the rainy season. The recent downpour has taken a further toll on the already dilapidated Naqar Khana (drum house) on the eastern side of the Ashoorkhana. The run down Naqar Khana is the place from where the traditional ‘Naubat’ (traditional drums) used to be played. The Ashoorkhana roof had collapsed in 2007, ever since the structure remains out of bounds for the public. The restoration work on the Niyaz Khana, mini Ashoorkhana and two Sarais in 2012 are showing signs of wear and tear as well..
