Study Finds Fixed Heritage Buffers Insufficient for Delhi's Diverse Monument Threats
A recent IIT Roorkee study examined nine centrally protected monuments in Delhi, highlighting that fixed heritage buffer zones under the AMASR Act may not adequately address varied threats. At Nizamuddin, infrastructure like a flyover pressures natural drainage, while Uggar Sain's Baoli faces risks from underground construction and high-rise development. Hauz Khas shows different challenges with commercial activity near protected zones. The study suggests heritage protection should consider each site's unique context and vulnerabilities to better preserve these monuments.
