# Four Lodhi-era tombs lie neglected in Delhi’s Zamrudpur 2026-08-10T11:08:07+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Hindustan Times reports that four 15th-century tombs in Zamrudpur, a village near Greater Kailash-1, are in severe disrepair. The tombs, built by Afghan noble Zamrud Khan under the Lodhi dynasty, are listed as Grade 1 heritage by the Delhi government and documented by the Archaeological Survey of India in 1916. Spot checks in June and July found the structures used as storehouses, cattle sheds, and garbage dumps, with unauthorised buildings inches away. A resident claiming ownership said his family has cared for the tomb for generations. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi declined to comment. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Delhi heritage, Grade 1, Lodhi tombs, neglect, urbanisation, Zamrudpur Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/four-lodhi-era-tombs-lie-neglected-in-delhis-zamrudpur/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
