Dimapur, March 12 (EMN): The central government has included the now-ruined monuments of the ancient Dimasa Kachari capital–popularly known among the locals here as Rajbari, located opposite the Circuit House in Dimapur–in its list of 100 Adarsh (model) monuments of the Archaeological Survey of India to be upgraded.
This was informed by the union minister of state for Culture, Environment and Climate Change Dr. Mahesh Sharma in a written reply to the Lok Sabha on Monday. “Tourist amenities proposed to be upgraded include the parking, ticket-counter, publication-counter, cafeteria, toilet block, drinking water facilities, dustbins, benches, ramps (for the differently-able), pathways, signage etc.,” a PIB report stated.
The project is divided into two phases: Phase one features 25 monuments and phase two 75. The Rajbari, listed as “remains of a fort (Dimapur ruins)” in the official statement, falls in the second phase.
