Work on the much-awaited Heritage Circuit linking the three World Heritage Sites Red Fort, Humayun Tomb and the Qutub Minar, in the city has started as part of the efforts to showcase Delhi magnificent past during the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) has started preparing a Detailed Project Report for developing and landscaping of Feroz Shah Kotla area after the Municipal Corporation of Delhi gave its nod.
"The MCD had on March 13 approved the project and we will be their consultants in this regard. This comes in the way of the' Heritage Corridor envisaged in the capital," INTACH Delhi chapter convenor A G K Menon said.
The project is part of the Delhi Government and MCD efforts to showcase the rich heritage of Delhi to foreigners during the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
The stretch from Darya Ganj in the walled city to ITO, covering Feroze Shah Kotla area and Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg will be developed by the MCD.
"We will now prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for developing the area and handover to the MCD. Then, the work on the stretch will start,”
Menon said the DPR will be submitted to the MCD in two months time.
As part of the project, the entire Feroz Shah Kotla area will be landscaped and lot of infrastructure facilities will come up there.
