The local people of the Qissa Khawani Bazaar in Peshawar, where the house is located, contended that dispute over its ownership has also not been resolved by the Khyber-Pakthunkhwa government yet.
The house is located in a congested area and can be reached only through a narrow six feet wide and 33 feet long street, making it difficult for visitors to approach it.
The condition of the house is extremely dilapidated and it may collapse any time, they said.
The Khyber-Pakthunkhwa government has passed the antiquity act to look after the properties declared national heritage but the house of Kumar has not been taken over under the said law, they said.
