So, Dalmia Group had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the ministry of tourism to adopt the iconic Mughal-era monument for the next five years at a cost of Rs 25 crore. As per the agreement, the corporate giant would build basic infrastructure around the monument and maintain it.
Well!
According to report in scroll in 2014 the Red fort alone generates the
Revenue: Rs 6,15,89,750
And in addition to this, with all our taxes why the government is unable to take care of the monuments?
