By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem In my present series of articles about the neglected heritage structures of our city, our more than a hundred-and-ten-year-old Fire Brigade Building at Saraswathipuram also deserves a mention. Although the front portion of it collapsed way back in the year 2019, due to the ravages of age, rain and neglect,…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD In my last article, I spoke of how our stately Lansdowne Building came into being and its present sad and sorry state. Now it is time for us to pay a visit to our sprawling Devaraja Market, a portion of which collapsed due to sheer neglect way back in…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Last weekend, in the first part of this series about the neglected and crumbling heritage structures of our city, I wrote about the sad plight of our once magnificent Lansdowne building and why it was very close to my heart.
