World Heritage Day 2023 Be it the religious place located in Sankisa, Rashid Khan's tomb located in Kayamganj, sometimes the inn built in Khudaganj, a symbol of the war with the British, be it the tomb of Nawab Bangash, who settled the city of Farrukhabad about 300 years ago, or sometimes the waterway. There should be rest houses built on the banks of the Ganges in the district, which is an important market for trade. The district is full of historical heritage.
Most of these are under the 'protection' of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). In the name of maintenance and upkeep, only a warning board has been installed outside these heritage sites by the organization. Due to lack of maintenance, these historical heritages are turning into ruins year by year.
The Buddhist religious site at Sankisa holds its own identity at the international level. Foreign devotees from countries like Myanmar, Cambodia, Sri Lanka etc. come here throughout the year for darshan and religious rituals. This site is under the maintenance of ASI. There is a big board to this effect here. Although there is no maintenance action from the Department of Archeology, let alone any departmental employee is posted here.
Board of Archeology Department also missing
Only a board has been installed at the Buddhist Bihar site, which is about 12 kilometers away from here. On the other hand, the Board of Archaeological Department, which was installed on the mound of Bhogi located in village Pilkhana of Merapur police station area, is also missing now. People dig pots under the mound.
watchmen keep disappearing
The tomb of Nawab Mohammad Khan Bangash, who settled the city of Farrukhabad, is also a victim of this disorder. The tomb located on the city limits has been declared a protected area by the Archaeological Department. Departmental watchmen often go missing.
cattle being tied
The tomb (Rauja) of Nawab Rashid Khan located in Mau Rashidabad village of Kayamganj area was preserved by the Archaeological Department. Due to which grass has grown over the tomb, there is encroachment all around. Cattle are also being tied up.
encroached by people
The Mughal-era mosque and inn located in Khudaganj of Kamalganj are still testifying to the glorious history. In the records of the Archaeological Department, the Mughal-era mosque and Sarai located in village Khudaganj of the district are registered as a protected site. The Archaeological Department has put up its own board here, but no one cares about the maintenance. People have encroached and occupied the inn. Some people have also constructed a concrete platform illegally.
Budget not found for repair of protected sites
Ayush Kumar, conservation assistant of the Kannauj sub-division of the Archaeological Department, says that the budget for the repair of protected sites has not yet been released for this financial year. Maintenance works will be done after getting the budget. He told that there is a shortage of staff in the department. Due to this, no departmental employee is appointed in many places. Employees are hired on contract. The work is being done through them only.
