A controversy has been simmering over the conservation work currently going on at the Bandra Fort. Residents and activists alleged that the conservation process has completely ruined the fort, while the appointed conservation architects say the procedure is in keeping with the tenets of archaeology.

While the different points of view are acceptable, it is time both sides sit together and be on somewhat the same page. While the appointed experts are responsible for the work it is always good when local experts and those appointed can exchange some ideas or opinions.
