Delhi’s Humayun’s Tomb group of monuments and Lucknow’s Amjad Ali Shah’s mausoleum will be the beneficiaries of model heritage bylaws. The National Monuments Authority recently decided that the bylaws of these two sites would be finalised on priority and forwarded to the ministry of culture for submission in both Houses of Parliament during the winter session. The Humayun’s Tomb group of monuments comprises 28 protected monuments, including the world heritage site itself, monuments in Sunder Nursery and Nizamuddin Basti, tombs of Battashewala Complex, Neela Gumbad, Sabz Burj and Rahim Khan’s tomb. The bylaws have been prepared by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, which has been working on the conservation of many of these sites.
