Errum Manzil Palace in Hyderabad Faces Severe Neglect
The Errum Manzil palace in Hyderabad, once a beautiful and grand building, is now in very bad shape.
It was built a long time ago by a wealthy nobleman and had many rooms, gardens, and even a polo ground.
The government took it over and used it as offices, but they didn't take care of it.
Now, the doors and windows are broken, water is leaking, and plants are growing all over it.
People who love old buildings are worried and want the government to fix it up and use it for cultural events.
The government once even tried to tear it down, but people stopped them.
They hope the palace can be saved and made beautiful again.
Errum Manzil palace in Hyderabad is in severe disrepair with broken doors, windows, and water seepage.
The palace, built in 1870 by Nawab Fakhrul Mulk, once had 140 rooms, golf courses, and a polo ground.
Heritage activists blame government neglect for the palace's deteriorating condition.
The government once planned to demolish the palace to build a new legislative assembly complex.
Activists urge the government to restore the palace and convert it into a heritage and cultural event space.
