Conflict in decision-making: Shared ownership can lead to disputes over maintenance, restoration, and management of the protected monuments between the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and the Waqf Board.
Inadequate conservation efforts: The overlapping ownership can result in neglect or subpar conservation efforts due to differing priorities and lack of a cohesive conservation approach.
Delay in implementing preservation measures: Conflicting roles and responsibilities may lead to delays in implementing necessary preservation measures, potentially endangering the monument's heritage value.
Risk of damage or destruction: The lack of a clear delineation of responsibilities and authority increases the risk of damage or destruction to the protected monument.
Uncertainty for future preservation: The ongoing conflict over ownership can create uncertainty regarding the long-term preservation and conservation of the heritage site.
