NEW DELHI: Conservation work on the 16th-century Nila Gumbad near Humayun’s Tomb complex holds special meaning for people living in the nearby Nizamuddin Basti. The tiles missing from the dome will be replaced by those made by youths from the basti trained by craftsmen from Uzbekistan.
Work at the Humayun’s Tomb complex and adjoining monuments was taken up a few months ago by Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). The protected monuments in the area come under the purview of Archaeological Survey of India.
