As Jammu and Kashmir is a place having a vast traditional and cultural background as people of various faiths used to live here from the times immortal, the Union Territory is house to several ancient heritage sites which have their own significant value. But it is irony that these precious sites were ignored by the earlier Governments of the erstwhile state due to which these national heritages are in shambles with no one to take care of the same. Many of these sites have either been damaged due to weather vagaries or on the verge of collapse due to zero maintenance and care which is really a serious issue. After raising the issue numerous times with the authorities, the Union Territory administration in the month of July 2021 finalized a specified plan to ensure revival, restoration, preservation and maintenance of Architecture of various heritage sites, which was also approved by the highest decision-making body i.e., Administrative Council led by LG Manoj Sinha. To ensure smooth implementation of the scheme, not only a necessary framework was drafted and instructions were issued to all the district administrations to identify various sites for revival and restoration falling in their jurisdiction and conveying the same to the administration so that necessary work can be initiated at the earliest but an amount of Rs 100 crore was also sanctioned for the purpose. Further, in the month of September, various district level committees were also formulated for the purpose but despite considerable lapse of time and availability of adequate funds, it is really surprising that work has not been initiated over this important project. In the recent budget also, an amount of Rs 100 crore was again reserved for the purpose as it got lapsed with the end of the financial year but there is no improvement in the scenario. As per the reports, the work is being delayed due to non-availability of necessary Detailed Projects Reports (DPRs) and adequate manpower as the department of Archives, Archaeology and Museums is lacking the well-versed and experienced officials to deal with such types of ancient buildings which are hard to be restored. It is expected that very soon necessary initiatives may be taken for effective implementation of the scheme in order to safeguard the ancient buildings which are a part of our glorious and splendid heritage.
