The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Main News
I believe such a news items appear only because of lack of Historic Thinking.
Recently, when Sultanpur Lodhi was bestowed upon heritage town status, it was commented that the history should be taken more seriously in preserving heritage. Recently, while editing an article on Ludhiana, a wikipedia editor removed the Tourist places of Ludhiana. I thought of introducing the places of historic places on that page. However, to my dismay, I was not able to locate the Bungalow of Shah Shuja of Afghanistan who was kept in Ludhiana, and latter became a cause of opposition by the army of Lahore Subha when Captain Broadfoot misbihaved with the Lahore army while taking back Shah Shuja back to Afghanistan.
Now, in case of some better preserved meomries of Sikh history, such a bulldozing is being carried out. I find it omnious.

It is very sad that the governments today are not interested in preserving the Heritage. However if the people are made conscious a difference can be made.
