remember Red Fort PIL of Pushta-war vintage? Kapil
Sibal & sons had appeared for Rajiv Sethi, AGKMenon &
ors gone aghast about Jahanpana-Jagmohan plan for Red
Fort and gone a-running to ask Supreme Court to make
committee to make cons plan instead. Now tenders (also
for Jama Masjid and Safdarjung) are floating!
Better, I suppose, than Jagmohan outsourcing
HumayunTomb to Aga Khan all by himself. And more
dignified: Jahanpana-Jagmohan or Veejay Goel
(puraani-dilli MP that Kapil Sibal dethroned) are not
going to sue the RedFort PIL committee!

Heritage conservation goes the outsourcing way
Mandira Nayar
NEW DELHI: It will be a year that will usher in a big
change for heritage in the Capital. With the decks
being cleared to draw up conservation plans for the
Red Fort, Safdarjung Tomb as well as Jama Masjid, the
three major landmark in the city will now gear up for
a face-lift but from 'non-government' hands.
Waiting for clearance from the finance department of
the Ministry of Culture, the tender for Red Fort will
mark the beginning of this shift of involving experts
from outside. While the decision to hire experts to
draw up the conservation plan for Red Fort might not
have been completely rested with ASI as it had been
directed by the Supreme Court to hand over
conservation of the Fort to outside experts following
a public interest litigation, but it seems to be
following the precedent established by the case for
other monuments.
