Hyderabad\'s 350-year-old \'Mushk Mahal\' faces encroachment

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The nearly six acres of open land surrounding the 350-year-old Qutub Shahi edifice Mushk Mahal in Attapur are under threat from land sharks and encroachers. Locals in the vicinity of the mahal summoned a few heritage enthusiasts to the spot to gather evidence and approach the relevant authorities to prevent encroachments by land sharks. It is incredibly crucial to conserve this piece of architecture because it is the sole remaining example of a Qutub Shahi Palace in existence,"said Dr Mohammed Safiullah, Deccan Heritage Trust's honorary managing trustee. He and Mahesh Kullu gathered trash, including some old cables, papers, broken books, bags, and so on, to kindle a fire and then departed the Mushk Mahal as if it were normal.
