In April 2012, when the government announced its decision to enact a law on heritage commission, the move was welcomed by activists and conservationists. Within weeks of the announcement came the passage of a Bill on heritage commission, which took the cue from a similar law in West Bengal. In no time, it got the assent of Governor K. Rosaiah too. But, the progress has been tardy since then. On the delay, an official terms it as “routine” and refuses to elaborate. For long, it was said the government had not yet finalised names of those who would form part of the 17-member proposed Commission. Any change in the composition of the body, which has just two non-official members, has to be done only through an amendment to the law, which is a long process, officials say.
