World Heritage Day: Residents, experts lament shrinking architectural legacy of Patna

For 26-year-old conservation architect Diptanshu Sinha, the razing of the Dutch and British-era Patna Collectorate also led to demolition of whatever hopes he had for the revival and redemption of the historic city's "dying heritage".

Heartbroken, he quit his job at an NGO dealing with heritage structures and moved to Gurugram.

"Every person has a breaking point. I couldn't take the razing of the collectorate building which preceded a wave of demolition since 2010. The last structure in the collectorate campus to go down was the frontage of its famed Dutch-era Record Room which had magnificent columns, and carried within its wide walls, centuries of history of urban evolution of Patna," Sinha said.
