Tour Comments

edit
  1. I sincerely feel we need a official identification card and a letter of authorization to shoot inside building premises like University campus and places where photography is prohibited.
  2. In some places local experts could not say anything about some structures. Despite thorough search they could not be traced. Last documentation being done in the 1980s, it is more difficult to comment.
  3. Initially in my exploration plan heritage structures towards Ketugram and Katwa was included, but I had to abandon them as because at present in some pockets of the area, situation is volatile and not safe to venture, specially in the interior villages.
