Delhi Metro damages historical building

摘要

Delhi Metro's heritage line has damaged a 113 year old building. The underground tunnelling work for the Central Secretariat-Kashmere Gate line has led to the partial collapse of a heritage building in Kashmere Gate, within the complex that houses the Ambedkar University. Part of the colonial-era structure, one of the most architecturally important buildings in the area, collapsed late last month after Metro's tunnelling work below the building had weakened the foundation, experts said. The complex has other historically important structures such as the Dara Shikoh Library.
