Summary:
The 136-year-old iconic dome that acts as a landmark for both M S University and Vadodara has been punctured at 110 spots! And shockingly, the central dome which is Asia’s second largest masonry dome that stands tall over the Faculty of Arts building, itself has been holed at over 80 spots. Even after the carelessness came to the notice, there is no clear statement made by the ASI explaining what actually went wrong with the conservation project. Thankfully, six smaller domes have been left untouched.“ASI has agreed that they will sent senior conservationists from Delhi to assess the damage to the heritage structure. “There is nothing that is irreparable and there is enough expertise available to get things corrected,” he said..
