Delhi's Lodhi-Era Tombs in Zamrudpur Face Neglect Amid Urban Encroachment
Delhi's Lodhi-era tombs in Zamrudpur, recognized as Grade 1 heritage sites, face neglect amid urban encroachment, squalor, and limited official enforcement. These 15th-century monuments, once part of agricultural land now overtaken by unplanned housing and garbage, illustrate challenges in preserving historical sites within expanding urban villages. The situation reflects broader issues of civic apathy and administrative gaps in protecting Delhi's rich heritage, despite legal protections and public awareness.
