New Delhi, Feb 2 (PTI) Vice President Hamid Ansari today visited the tomb of revered poet Mirza Ghalib here to witness the conservation work and landscaping that has been carried out at the site.
The conservation work on the tomb and the surrounding areas, a heritage site, had begun in early 2009 by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.
Hundreds of skilled and unskilled craftsmen and master craftsmen were employed for restoring the tomb and landscaping works including replacing the concrete pavement with marble inlay and hand-chiselled sandstone paving to reproduce the Mughal-era look.
Ansari visited the restored site of the tomb and also witnessed the renovation of an MCD Primary school in the Nizamuddin Basti and was “visibly impressed,” the Aga Khan Trust said in a statement.
The conservation work is part of the Humayun’s Tomb- Sunder Nursery-Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti Urban Renewal project.
