🎶In India, the plight of heritage monuments that are located in seclusion often meets with neglect and disrepair. In such a situation, they are often torn down or repurposed into something else. Towards this end, in a stunning demonstration of civic engagement, residents of Agra organised a “Heritage Farewell Walk” on Wednesday under the direction of nonprofit organisations to raise awareness of the historic “Shahi Hammam” in the Chipitolaneighbourhood's endangered condition. Recently, concerns have been raised regarding the preservation, both on ground and rampantly on social media, of the centuries-old Mughal-era building, which was formerly a part of a vast sarai (inn) complex, after it was sold to a private party. The purpose of the walk was to raise awareness and implore the authorities to protect the historic site.
