Sources said the nominated members of the Heritage Society (other than those from the government) pointed out at the failure of agencies like INTACH and ASI in showing desired results on ground with respect to renovation and restoration work.

Sources said that members also conveyed that the recommendations made during the last four years with respect to expediting work on the portions which are on verge of collapse have fallen on deaf years of the concerned agencies which have been unable to understand the urgency and gravity of situation . Sources further said there was unanimity that experts of international repute be involved in the project and more importantly a time frame be fixed under which they would be asked to deliver, given the dilapidated condition of most of the structures.

It was felt to identify alternative parking points in order to decongest the area from the existing arrangement. Besides the need for upgrading and maintaining the present park was also raised which was responded in a positive manner by the government.
