London-like blue plaques

New Delhi: The MCD will be installing blue plaques at 1,300 heritage sites, including schools, hospitals and police stations, across the Capital to increase awareness about the heritage sites, the officials said. The initiative is similar to the blue plaque programme of London, they said. “Our target is to complete the work in the next 15-20 days. The work has already started. These plagues will basically serve as sign boards to attract the attention of the heritage lovers. “They will increase awareness about the heritage sites which otherwise go unnoticed due to unkept or no sign boards,” an official said.
