New Delhi, Sep 21: A Parliamentary panel has asked about the “50 missing centrally-protected monuments” and recommended an “urgent survey” of all remaining monuments by the Archaeological Survey of India to ensure their physical existence.
The report by the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture was presented to the Rajya Sabha and tabled in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
In the report, the Committee has noted that the CAG had declared 92 centrally-protected monuments as “missing”. The ASI has located 42 of these monuments. The remaining 50 monuments are either affected by rapid urbanisation, submerged under reservoirs or dams, or are untraceable.
The Committee, in the action taken report, said it “desires to know about the fate of 50 missing centrally-protected monuments” and recommends the ministry to direct the ASI to initiate an “urgent survey of CPMs in light of the lack of physical security and missing of monuments instead of making it ‘as and when’ matter based on the inputs of ASI field officers”.
