India to improve heritage management

The Indian government is to set up a National Commission for Heritage Sites, which will maintain a national register of heritage sites based on the UK model (article in The Hindu). This will be a positive step towards better preservation of the countless buildings and sites of historical importance in the country, many of which are under constant threat of damage or demolition.
