		+	Restoring Tripolia’s glory — one passageway at a time
		+
		+	New Delhi : The Archaeological Survey of India has started conservation work on one of the two 18th century triple-arched passageways called the Tripolia Gate at Rana Pratap Bagh in north Delhi. The work is likely to finish within three months.
		+
		+	Confirming the move, Praveen Kumar, superintending archaeologist (Delhi circle), said the plaster lining the wall of the gateway was weathered and the stone slabs had fallen off in parts.
		+
		+	The structure had sustained damages due to the movement of heavy vehicles in the area. Vehicles have now been prohibited from going past the central arch and have been rerouted through the other two arches. According to reports, container trucks have repeatedly rammed into the arches and even got stuck once causing significant damage to the structure.
		+
		+	In the late Mughal era, there was an inn called Gur-kiSarai on the road connecting Subzi Mandi with the present Delhi-Karnal Road. The historical Grand Trunk Road passed through the two triplearched gateways. Largely built of brick with some use of sandstone, the double set of three-arched gateways facing each other at just 250 metres are roofed by flat domes. Du ring the late Mughal period, the passageways served as the entrance to a large bazaar.
		+	These gates were built by Nazir Mahaldar Khan in 1728-29, as evident from two inscriptions on the structure, one over each gateway. Khan was superintendent of the women's quarter in the reign of Mughal emperor Muhammed Shah. Besides these two, no other historical gateway, apart from Kashmiri Gate, has more than one passage.
		+	Though the Gur Mandi gate, whose arches and side walls had been damaged, was repaired by ASI a few years ago, the gateway itself was left untouched because it was in a better condition at the time, said officials.

		+	NEW DELHI: Matiala assembly constituency has the highest number of electors, so whoever wants to capture that seat needs to appeal to a wide range — from middle- and upper-class voters in Dwarka’s urban setting to the economically lower sections in the over 20 rural communities. The candidate also has to pass muster with the cynical section among voters — the 18-19 year olds, who number the highest here among all assembly seats.
		+	In the relatively well-developed localities, issues like 24/7 supply of water and electricity, more green spaces and pothole-free roads are key concerns.
		+
		+	The sub-city, however, is not likely to be the deciding factor in an electoral victory because a bigger chunk of voters live in urban and rural villages. Adjacent to Dwarka is Kakrola, a village that is still pushing for development. Its residents look enviously at Dwarka’s posher sectors for ideal infrastructure and development. “People want to see improvements in our area too. Of course, slowly but surely, they are taking place. The progress in government schools is tremendous,” said Rekha Bhatt, a Kakrola housewife.
		+
		+	Deeper in the constituency in villages like Ghumanhera, Chhawla and Rewla Khanpur, the landscape changes dramatically. The urban sprawl of Dwarka is replaced by open mustard fields. And the electoral issues too are completely different: employment, sanitation and transport connectivity with the rest of the city.
		+
		+	Farmer Bharat Singh sits outside his house in Rewla Khanpur, enjoying the winter sun. The yellow spread of his mustard field is a heartening sight, but he rues the lack of economic opportunities for youngsters. “Working in fields is not lucrative, so it doesn’t tempt the new generation, least of all those who are educated,” said Singh. He said they were inclined to find urban jobs, but pointed out reaching the city was a task for them.
		+
		+	The constituency is currently represented by Aam Aadmi Party’s Gulab Singh Yadav, who won comfortably in 2015, leaving BJP’s Rajesh Gahlot and Congress’ Sumesh Shokeen in his wake.
		+	AAP government’s attempts to provide better healthcare and education, according to village voters, are appreciated because they did not have easy access to hospitals or medicines in the past.

		+	''15-YEAR WAIT ENDS IN STATUS QUO: Several Agencies Object To Relocation Of Market''
		+
		+	The agency responsible for implementing the revamp of the Jama Masjid area has dropped the idea of relocating the historic Meena Bazaar after having mooted the idea 15 years ago. The plot near the Parade Ground parking that was supposed to have sited the market is, in any case, being developed into a heritage park.
		+
		+	According to Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation (SRDC), some stakeholders, among them the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation, Delhi Development Authority, Delhi Urban Arts Commission and Delhi Waqf Board, had objected to the market’s relocation. “The north corporation claimed the relocation was against Master Plan Delhi 2021 and that construction activity was not allowed within 300 metres of Red Fort,” a project official said. “DDA expressed doubts about the ownership of the plot involved, while the Shahi Imam said the plan would unnecessarily displace the Meena Bazaar traders and cause chaos.”
		+
		+	Meena Bazaar is believed to be as old as Jama Masjid and was once visited by the Mughal royalty and the nobility for jewellery, silk and embroidered textiles. Today, it’s a cluttered market selling from garments and hardware and automobile spares. “Relocation is a very sensitive topic with most shop owners. Even those who want to shift in the belief it will be better for business have been warned not to be vocal,” confided a trader.
		+
		+	The north corporation is setting up a heritage park on the plot in question. Union sports minister Vijay Goel has set aside Rs 5 crore for the park from his MPLAD funds, and insist that none of the stakeholders were “consulted about the relocation of Meena Bazaar” and that there was “no need to shift the market at all”. He added, “The redevelopment plan itself should be re-examined.”
		+
		+	Officials associated with the plan, however, contested Goel’s claim. “The plot belongs to the north corporation and the redevelopment of the area was planned with the civic body’s approval. How could they not have known that this land was proposed for Meena Bazaar’s new location?” wondered an official.
		+
		+	Sources alleged the construction of the heritage park began without proper approvals and that PWD and SRDC weren’t consulted either. After work was halted by Delhi high court, it is learnt that SRDC will now inform the court that the construction had been approved after considering the stakeholders’ views. Work is expected to resume shortly.
		+
		+	The area redevelopment plan itself came in the high court’s scanner in 2004, when a PIL was filed about the degrading conditions around the 17th-century mosque. Hearing the petition, the court had ordered authorities to redevelop Jama Masjid and its precincts, spreading over 23 acres. A plan for this was approved by the court two years later

		+
		+	The Mehram Nagar village was set to be Delhi’s newest tourist destination. Located a few miles from IGI Airport, the village is home to several late Mughal ruins. These were being conserved by Intach Delhi Chapter and the Delhi government’s department of archaeology.
		+
		+	But now, the project has hit a roadblock as the ministry of defence has objected to the work as the ruins are on its land.
		+
		+	A gateway, mosque, enclosing wall, a whole katra or a settlement, and an authentic Mughal garden—all in various stages of decay—speak of the rich history of Mehram Nagar. It came up in mid-17th century and was named after a Mughal courtier named Mehram Khan.
		+
		+	Archaeological Survey of India has already certified a doorway as having been built by Mughal emperors Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb in the 1660s. Not surprisingly, conservationists say Mehram Nagar can be promoted as a tourist spot, especially due to its proximity to the airport.
		+
		+	Despite the ravages of time, most of the edifice has fortunately survived. A few have fallen victim to the urban sprawl, but excavations also unearthed new structures like toilets and canopies. “We dug out a small tank with a water channel. Since we have only excavated a small portion of the garden, we don’t know yet where the water channel leads to,” said an official.
		+
		+	But the project was stalled in May last year. “We are trying to resolve the issue with the ministry. Our job is to conserve these monuments so that more and more people come here. We are hoping for a resolution at the earliest,” said a senior Delhi government official.
		+
		+	Intach officials said they needed at least six months more to complete the work. “Only some of the pavilions have been restored; a lot more has to be done,” said an official.
		+
		+	The conservation is part of Phase III of a scheme that entails preservation of 18 monuments that are unprotected. So far, over two dozen nearly forgotten monuments have been conserved and opened to public.
		+
		+	At Mehram Nagar, though, only one of the three original gateways stands today. But unless rescued, this too could vanish.
