A proud and emotional moment for @GadagHeritage ❤️🙏😍 The @CMofKarnataka ’s office has responded to our appeal to protect Gadag’s ancient rock paintings. Seeing our efforts receive attention gives us hope that these precious traces of our past will be preserved for future generations. Our heartfelt thanks to Dinesh Maneer of Project SKaAT, Smita Reddy Ma’am from the @KarArchaeology Department, Bengaluru, and all media organisations that have highlighted this issue and raised concerns about quarrying and mining activities. Every effort, every voice and every step matters when it comes to protecting our heritage. This is why we started Gadag Heritage — to document, preserve and bring attention to the history of our region. A small effort, a meaningful response, and renewed hope for Gadag’s heritage. 🙏
