Reviving History: New Life for Gumti of Shaikh Ali
The Delhi government is set to rejuvenate the Gumti of Shaikh Ali, a 700-year-old monument, with horticulture and landscaping efforts. This follows a Supreme Court directive that designated the site as protected under law, leading to the end of illegal occupancy by a local association.

The ancient Gumti of Shaikh Ali in Delhi's Defence Colony is poised for revival as the local government embarks on a horticultural facelift. This initiative aligns with the Supreme Court's order that declared the monument a protected site.
Historically misused for decades by a local welfare association, the monument faced encroachments and unauthorized use. The restoration project will not only bring aesthetic improvements but also legally safeguard the structure's heritage value.
With a budget of approximately Rs 69.99 lakh, the project includes meticulous landscaping, continuous maintenance, and adherence to the guidelines of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (AMASR) Act.
