Subject: Concerns and suggestions for protection regarding the World Heritage Site at Ajanta Caves

Respected Madam,

I, Master Suchit Kumar, am a class 10 student of Saraswati High School, Thane. A few days ago, I had the opportunity to visit the famous Ajanta Caves, which are considered part of the World Heritage.

I am greatly disturbed by the state the site is maintained in. The caves are in ruins, and the place is unclean. The lack of security personnel risks the destruction of the historically relevant architecture. The hands of vandals, I also had a few queries as follows:

  1. Could we implement a policy to maintain this site?
  2. Could security be increased to prevent encroachments by animals and human beings?
  3. Could a fee be charged for entry so that the funds may be used for site upkeep?
  4. Can the locals be involved in protecting the site?
  5. Could waste disposal measures be used to ensure cleaner premises?

I also have a few suggestions that we could use to preserve this heritage site:

  1. We could install a CCTV camera to monitor troublemakers.
  2. Placards and signboards could be placed in strategic locations to warn and guide visitors.
  3. Sufficient, well-maintained sanitary facilities could be provided to ensure the place is clean.

I kindly request that you keep us updated on the happenings at the site. My friends and I would be keen to do our part in protecting this very precious Heritage site.

Yours sincerely,
Master Suchit Kumar
