उत्तर
Preserving the Nation’s True Wealth
World Heritage Sites need to be preserved, as they are the wealth of the people. We must take ownership to ensure that we not only maintain them but also preserve and conserve them for our future generations. For this, they should be protected from any damage caused by human or animal trespassing. Visits to such sites should be monitored or controlled. Also, the local administrative bodies in charge of their upkeep must be held accountable for its maintenance.
