The Chandigarh Administration has decided to formulate a list of heritage buildings in the city for their preservation and maintenance. A meeting in this regard was held under UT Finance-cum-Planning Secretary Sanjay Kumar.

Kumar said Chandigarh is known internationally for its architecture and urban planning and there is a need to preserve it.

“The agenda would be prepared in a month and would be discussed with the members of the Archaeological Survey of India and Ministry of Cultural Affairs for their recommendations,” he added.

Kumar added that the city’s heritage list would help the Administration focus on the identified buildings and take necessary steps for their restoration.

“Various important buildings like the Capitol Complex, Government Museum and

Art Gallery, College of Architecture, College of Art and Government Press, which are still being used and are living monuments, would get due recognition after the exercise is over,” he said.
