House panel calls for revising rules of construction around protected ASI monuments
  • The House panel is calling for revisions to the rules of construction around protected ASI (Archaeological Survey of India) monuments in order to ensure their preservation and conservation.
  • Protected ASI monuments are of significant historical, artistic, cultural, or archaeological value and are legally protected by the government.
  • The current rules of construction around these monuments may not adequately address the unique challenges of preserving and conserving them.
  • Revising the rules of construction can help ensure that any new development or construction near these monuments does not cause harm or damage to their integrity, aesthetics, or historical value.
  • It may involve stricter guidelines for construction activities, such as maintaining a certain distance from the monument or allowing only certain types of construction methods.
  • The aim is to strike a balance between allowing development and preserving the cultural heritage represented by these monuments.
  • These revisions may be based on the recommendations of experts in the fields of archaeology, architecture, conservation, and urban development.
  • Ultimately, the goal is to protect and preserve the protected ASI monuments for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
