AGRA: Citizens, led by a voluntary group, took out a 'Heritage Farewell Walk' in Chipitola area on Wednesday to save the 'Shahi Hammam' and spread awareness on safeguarding the ancient structure, said to be endangered by a sale executed in favour of a private party in the old city area.

Heritage enthusiasts are concerned that another property of historical value will be at the mercy of the current owner, who could bring it down to suit his plans, citing his ownership rights.

The enthusiasts, who had informed the administration about the walk, claimed this "Mughal era hammam" was part of a massive 'sarai' (inn) complex for a long time. If the "hammam" is lost, it will be the fourth such structure of heritage value to go, they alleged.

Historians, social activists and heritage lovers gathered at Bijlighar crossing and walked with placards with a message 'Save Shahi Hammam' and 'Farewell Shahi Hammam'.
