Sir,
This has reference to the damage caused to boundry wall of Bahu Fort. The loss so caused is quite immense and steps need to be taken to restore its pristine glory.
The collapse of the wall of this historical building should draw our attention to other buildings of heritage value of Jammu region. Some of these historical buildings cannot be restored to their original status but some can certainly be salvaged if the Government intervenes promptly. A committee needs to be constituted to assess the condition of these buildings and the recommendations submitted by it should be taken into consideration for their safety.
It will be a great loss in case we fail to protect these buildings. These are not mere buildings but symbols of our culture, heritage, life style and architecture. In them lies our past and future. With them is associated our history and our contribution to civilization. We need to protect them for our posterity so that they can know their link with the past.
Yours etc…..
