New Delhi: British-era district collectorates, courts, hospital buildings, railway stations and other public assets built in that period need to be preserved, Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat has said as he urged states to take steps in this direction with "more seriousness".
His remarks, made during an exclusive interview to PTI Videos here on Wednesday, come in the backdrop of many such colonial-era historic structures being razed or facing demolition after years of neglect in various cities over the past several years.
