SAVE BLUE CITY

Hello Everybody,

                        Howz everybody doin..?? I hope everything’s good on your side. Today, I want to say something to all of you. And trust me, this is an Important Issue. As we all know, that Jodhpur is also known as The Blue City. Jodhpur got this attribute from the Blue Colored Houses, which is well situated in the Old City. But don’t you all feel that, this Legacy is losing its part. People are moving towards the modernization by depreciating their blue houses. As a matter of fact, the Rich and Royal Inheritance of the Blue City, is slowly being vanished and probably, there will be a time where The Blue City will get extinct. This is a wake up call, for all of us, you, me and everybody.

                        I want all of you to know, Why Blue Color? There are many characteristics of coloring blue, some of them are:

v      The Blue Color keeps the House cool from inside, particularly in Summers

v      The Blue Color keeps the mosquitoes and insects away

v      And the Blue Color is Eco-Friendly, as it is made from Limestone.

However, I think that, the people can still maintain the inheritance of the Blue City, by combining the Modern look (as per their needs) with the Blue Paint. And for this purpose, the Municipal Corporation, the Tourism Department and the Local Authorities, should formulate a Law, so as to save this legacy from extinction. For example, in Jaipur, the people are not authorized to paint any color on their houses or any other building, situated in the Old City. The have to maintain and stick to the Pink color on their premises. And as we can see that, Jaipur is doing extremely good in the Tourism.

And Last but not the Least, I would like to congratulate on the outstanding initiative for saving the heritage of Blue City. Thanks to the Team of Rajasthan Patrika, for coming up with the concern for saving and preserving the Heritage of The Blue City.
