Neglect Pushes Qutb Shahi-Era Akkanna Sarai Towards Ruin

A very old building called the Akkanna Sarai was built a long time ago as a place where tired travelers could rest.

It is in a place called Maheshwaram in Telangana, India.

The building was made for a man named Akkanna, who was an important official for the Qutb Shahi rulers.

For many years, nobody has taken care of the building, so it is falling apart.

People who care about old buildings are worried and want it fixed.

In 2023, someone made a plan to fix it up, but the work never started.

A person named Md.

Habeeb saw people damaging the building's courtyard and trying to build something new there.

Another person, P. Anuradha Reddy, says the building belongs to the public and should be studied and repaired carefully.

The building also has an old stepwell inside it.

Everyone agrees that the building needs to be protected and restored soon before it gets worse.
