A cursory look at the ongoing projects and other monuments that have been lying neglected for years shows a disheartening trajectory of the city’s heritage. The recent Gulzar Houz fiasco is a classic example.

Wall of Katora Houz lake inside Golconda Fort had collapsed nearly 4 months ago
The Katora Houz lake inside Golconda Fort has been turned into one of the largest trash bins in the city by residents of surrounding areas. Months after the wall of the 500-year-old artificial lake collapsed during incessant rain in mid-October last year, the lake is littered with garbage. The trash being dumped ranges from household trash generated every day to discarded sofa sets, stryofoam from the innards of refrigerators to building debris. “People drive their two wheelers and throw the plastic bags and drive away,” says a resident waiting outside the masjid.
