Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Wednesday ordered the
formation of a committee for protection and preservation of the ancient and
historical monuments in the state. In a directive to the chief secretary, he
called for the constitution of a committee to formulate an action plan for the
purpose. According to an official statement, he said the committee would
"formulate a scientific and systematic action plan for the protection of
all the historical monuments in the state". The committee, according to
Gogoi, will study all the relevant aspects and suggest recommendations leading
to repairing, restoring and preserving ancient and historical monuments.
The state government will also approach the central
government for matching financial assistance in its bid for the preservation
and protection of ancient and historical monuments in Assam. There are two
Unesco World Heritage Sites in Assam - Kaziranga National Park, famous for the one-horned
rhinoceros; and Manas National Park, a Project Tiger reserve, an elephant
reserve and a biosphere reserve. Gogoi's directive is expected to put focus on
the historical monuments of Sivasagar, the capital of Assam's erstwhile Ahom
kingdom, among others.
