Sir,
This has reference to the article ‘Ambaran-A heritage in a shambles’ DE July 20′.
It is quite dismaying that no attention is being paid to this heritage site. One had expected that this site may receive great attention after Dalai Lama visited some years back but no such thing happened so far. The site is in the same position as was before Dalai Lama’s visit. Had it been developed, it would have emerged as one of the important Buddhist sites in the world. At the same time Akhnoor too would have emerged as a tourist cum pilgrimage centre. It would be great loss to the State if this heritage site remains in perennial neglect.
It is incumbent upon the people of Akhnoor to pursue the matter vigorously with the concerned authorities to see this place developed as an important Buddhist site. Once that happens Akhnoor will emerge an attractive tourist spot and its socio-economic outlook will change for better.
Yours etc…
