KG Marg parking will not damage baoli, says Intach

NEW DELHI: There's finally good news for office-goers in Connaught Place. India National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (Intach) has recently submitted heritage bylaws for 13th century Agrasen ki Baoli to the ASI and recommended that the NDMC multi-storey parking project in KG Marg will not affect the monument. The recommendation is expected to go a long way in helping NDMC and concessionaire DS Constructions get the coveted nod from National Monuments Authority for the much delayed project.

The bylaws, which have been submitted to the Archaeological Survey of India, will now be forwarded to the NMA alongwith ASI's recommendations for the project. Though the final decision will lie solely with NMA based on their own internal scrutiny and expert discussions, the bylaws are expected to play an influencing role in determining the project's future. According to sources, Intach has said that the parking project will not have any impact on the baoli or any negative heritage impact as the distance is over 200m and in a relatively 'safe zone'.

Intach has also added in their report that while ground water recharge will be very difficult for the stepwell as the water table has gone very low, the baoli could become an important site for rainwater harvesting. The bylaws also stress upon the need for landscaping and improving the surroundings around the monument.

The bylaws are the second that have been submitted to ASI, after Sher Shah Gate. Intach is currently working on the bylaws of half-a-dozen more monuments in south Delhi where most of the information is already available with them through local area plans. While the costs for preparing the bylaws for each monument is ranged at approximately Rs 3.5 lakh, Intach is trying to work out an agreement with ASI to work out the costs.

KG Marg parking is located 216m from Agrasen ki Baoli, and Intach has been entrusted with the task of making the bylaws. In order to give an NOC to NDMC and DS Constructions for the project, NMA had asked that a heritage impact assessment report be prepared. Officials from Intach said the bylaws would incorporate findings by environment experts also.
