More to Mayans than 'doomsday' links | Archaeology News | Scoop.it
The Pope has warned Christians not to believe predictions that the world will end on December 21 and the space agency NASA has been moved to debunk officially various theories — mystery planets, sun flares, planetary alignments — as to how it will...

MLA stops Ashoorkhana fencing work

MLA stops Ashoorkhana fencing work | Archaeology News | Scoop.it

Officials blamed for ‘illegally’ demolishing 17 shops terming them as encroachments.

Officials of the Department of Archaeology and Museums had to beat a retreat without erecting the fence at the entrance of the Badshahi Ashoorkhana for the second day on Monday. Protest by the Charminar legislator, Syed Ahmed Pasha Quadri, along with his supporters forced the authorities to call off the operation.

 

On Sunday also the authorities tried unsuccessfully to erect the fence as the police could not provide protection. On Monday P. Gayatri, Director, Archaeology and Museums, along with officials came to the Ashoorkhana around 11 in the morning and started the work of digging the foundation. Soon Mr. Quadri accompanied by his supporters came to the protected monument and argued that the area proposed to be fenced did not belong to the Department and hence there was no question of fencing it.
