Ludhiana, April 18, 2014: The Indian Institute of Architects-Ludhiana Centre (IIA-LC) celebrated “World Heritage Day” in Ludhiana on Friday.

Sanjay Goel, chairman of IIA-LC delivered a lecture to the students highlighting the importance of conservation and preservation of rich heritage at the city and national level both.

Talking about Ludhiana city, quite a few very famous heritage buildings like The Clock Tower, The Christ Church, The Lodhi Fort, The Sunet Village, Mughal Sarai and many more were brought into light and their present condition was found to be very disheartening, thus it becomes our moral responsibility to take care and conserve our heritage.
