‘Govt. had notified only 120 acres as protected area’
On the eve of World Heritage Day, which is celebrated every year on April 18, the members of INTACH (Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage), heritage enthusiasts and environmentalists in the city feel that the State government should revoke GO Rt No. 21 that was passed on February 12, 2021 amending the GO 27 dated July 13, 1978, regarding the protected site of Thotlakonda in survey No. 314. According to the new GO, the government had notified only 120 acres as protected area in the 2nd century BC Buddhist monastery site of Thotlakonda. Which the members of INTACH and heritage enthusiasts feel that is not as per the norms of heritage site protection and the government has bypassed the concept of buffer zone around any protected monument.
