Dilapidating ‘Rawat Fort’ seeks authorities’ attention

Author: app/ppi

ISLAMABAD: Unnamed graves, dilapidated rooms and desolated atmosphere of the second major archaeological site of federal capital ‘Rawat Fort’ reflect unwillingness of the concerned authorities to preserve the vanishing historical relics.

“Monuments and archaeological pieces serve as testimonies of man’s greatness and establish a dialogue between civilizations showing the great extent to which human beings are linked,” said Vincente Fox, an expert.

After the Orange Line Metro Train fiasco, in which construction went on within 200-metre distance from heritage buildings despite strict orders of Highcourt, it is clear that the preservation of historical monuments was the priority of the incumbent government.
