CHANDIGARH: UT may take pride in calling itself a city of modern 
heritage, but when it comes to protecting and preserving it, the 
administration has not been able to do much
....
Now, to preserve it and find ways for its suitable disposal, UT 
administration has set up a three-member committee. The panel includes 
Prof Kiran Joshi, principal of Chandigarh college of architecture 
Rajnish Wattas and chief architect Sunita Monga. "We will take care of 
these neglected items. Also special auctions would be organised by 
involving the interested French collectors," said Joshi.
