Jammu, Dec 7: Dogra Sadar Sabha (DSS) today thanked the Principal Secretary to Lieutenant Governor J&K, for his visit to Mubarak Mandi Jammu, to inspect the ongoing work of restoration and adaptive reuse of the Complex. DSS President Th. Gulchain Singh Charak, in a statement issued here today, welcomed the keen interest evinced by Niteshwar Kumar, Principal Secretary to LG in various aspects of the on-going works during his inspection of the heritage site and expressed confidence that, besides galvanising the agencies engaged in conservation and protection.
of the priceless heritage, his visit will also facilitate providing of objective and valuable feedback to the LG for resolving issues and removing the bottlenecks coming in the way of speedy progress of the work. He expressed hope that far from satisfactory conditions in which the centuries old historic, but brittle, record of the Archives department has been temporarily shifted, till work on the Archives building is completed, would now be urgently attended to. It’s dumping on the bare and dusty floor, without any provision of matting and racks, and stacking in a cramped manner, despite availability of sufficient space in the erstwhile Army Headquarter building, was likely to cause irreparable damage to the rare and irreplaceable record. |
