We all grew up enjoying
the sites like Charminar and Golkonda. They always stood as pride of Hyderabad
often dubbed as City of Nawabs. This year, the state government decided to further
glorify these structures by filing a nomination; a nomination to declare them
as among the World Heritage sites by UNESCO.
Along with
Charminar and Golkonda, QutubShahi Tombs will also be included in the WH list
if UNESCO accepts the AP state government’s request. The GHMC commissioner MT
Krishna Babu and commissioner of Tourism Rajath Kumar were some main
personalities in the meeting held on Monday 23 July 2012.
Another joint meeting
was held yesterday on 24 July 2012, where in other Tourism officials will also
be involved and their opinions will be considered in this regard. The committee
expects more suggestions from this meeting and a detailed report will be submitted
very soon. GHMC also agreed to develop the surroundings of these structures
which will make them appealing enough for UNESCO to give its nod as World
Heritage Sites.
