what i hated about the visit was that the tomb and its surroundings were badly maintained. the water canals were dirty and dried up, the gardens were ill kept.the ASI or Archaeological survey of India has a office inside the tomb complex and employees were parking their vehicles inside the complex spoiling the look of the structure.
there were plastic water and soft drinks bottles thrown around.
this tomb is used by the local muslim community for namaz every friday and one wonders why their help is not sought for keeping the structure clean.
the tomb also get a lot of young visitors who would rather etch their names on the walls of history rather than make history.
i don't think tourism and culture ministry or ASI understands the word sustainable and i don't think delhi'ites understand "what living with history means"
