Praveen Singh, superintending archaeologist, ASI Delhi Circle, said the government agency will also conserve the archway at Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, also located in the Qutub complex.
NEW DELHI: The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is likely to begin restoration work on Alai Darwaza -- the southern gateway to the Qutub complex -- by the end of March to repair stone slabs and intricate carvings on the arched structure that have eroded over time.
"Core conservation is a slow and tedious process, and wherever possible, we are taking up monuments for conservation. Within the Qutub complex, ASI will be conserving the Alai Darwaza and the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque's archway so that the original features are not lost," said Singh.
