Manuscripts dating back to several hundred years are in danger of being
lost to the public memory with the Allahabad Development Authority (ADA)
initiating process to seal premises of Rajkiya Pandulipi Pustakalaya in
Allahpur area of the city.
Housed in four two-room flats alloted by the ADA in 1977, the
library, governed by the Department of Culture, owes Rs 36 lakh to the
authority, due to which the allotment has been cancelled, the ADA
officials say.
"So far, only one of the flats has been sealed. Other premises
will be sealed if the library does not get its allotment restored, as
per the norms," an offical informed.
The library officials say the department is waiting for the
release of the money which has been approved by top state administration
as dues to be paid to the ADA.
