35 Centrally protected monuments which are not traceable

Rajya Sabha

Minister of State for Planning and Parliamentary Affairs Shri   V. Narayanasamy has said that Out of 3675 centrally protected monuments/sites, 35 are not traceable.

In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today he said the main causes for the disappearance of these monuments are urbanization, commercialization and implementation of development projects.  The disappearance came to light in the course of surveys of monuments and   it is not feasible to fix individual responsibility. The details (State-wise) are as follows.
