Heritage at risk
The expose of the missing Le Corbusier tapestries from the High Court
reveals apathy towards heritage. Kiran Joshi weaves the story behind
the artefacts.
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.

CHANDIGARH: Neeraj Ruhal, an activist of Haryana's Ruhal khap

volume of music preferred by DJs, people can't milk buffaloes and cows
in the morning as the animals are unable to sleep at night."
