NEW DELHI: The National Monuments Authority has identified Aga Khan Trust for Culture and School of Planning and Architecture as authorities for framing heritage bylaws in Delhi and has sent a proposal to the ministry of culture to notify them as expert heritage bodies. Reach Foundation in Chennai has also been identified to help with bylaws for monuments in the southern part of the country.
At present, the amended ASI Act of 2010 only lists India National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage for the framing of bylaws. Post-notification, AKTC would be accountable for the monuments in Nizamuddin while SPA would focus on structures in Mehrauli. Sources said the notification is expected soon.
