A grand new entrance befitting the Qutb Shahi tombs complex will be ready by next year's start.  

This was said by the CEO of Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), Ratish Nanda while speaking at the inaugural V.K. Bawa Memorial Lecture near the hammam serai of the complex. 

"It’s been a joy to restore the parapet wall of Mohammed Quli’s tomb using archival images and the discovery of fine limestone stucco work underneath the plastering layers on the tomb of Sultan Qutb ul Mulk,” said Mr Nanda in a short speech.  

He also shared the challenges, including a deluge of 81 legal cases during the restoration work progress and how it disturbed the pace. 

"There has been no role in the decision-making process. Heritage belongs to people, and they should be involved so that a system of checks and balances is in place,” said the historian Sajjad Shahid.
