Rohtas Fort ‘restoration works’ on Unesco radar

Unesco has voiced concerns over restoration works at Rohtas Fort, a Pakistani World Heritage site, fearing they may compromise its outstanding universal value. Following a site visit and third-party information, Unesco's team raised objections about interventions that allegedly violate international standards. This is significant as it highlights the ongoing scrutiny UNESCO places on heritage site preservation to ensure they maintain their cultural and historical integrity. The issue underscores the importance of adhering to global guidelines when undertaking restoration projects to protect global cultural heritage.
