Morteza Nikro, head of the province’s Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Department, emphasized opposition to any high -rise in this area against the laws.
He emphasized opposition to any construction outside the criteria in the historical context:
In recent days, we have witnessed a high -rise construction in the Kerman Tissue and Historical Market, which was initially notified of the Kerman Cultural H According to secondary actions, we have prevented the process of operating the contractor by obtaining a judicial order by the Legal Department of the Cultural Heritage, and at the same time by sending correspondence to the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, we called for the revocation of the license issued through Article 5 Commission in the past years.
Referring to the administrative and legal process in the course of revocation of Article 5 Commission’s permission for this structure, Nikro stated:
Currently, the contractor and employer of the project committed to carrying out construction only in the first two floors to prevent the violation of public rights and the continuation of the work in the upper floors have been subject to the announcement of Article 5 Commission’s vote by the Ministries involved in the issuance of this license.
He emphasized the importance of protecting the historical identity of Kerman city:
The historical context of Kerman is a precious heritage that must be protected by sensitivity and precision. Any construction outside of cultural heritage rules and regulations is a serious threat to the originality and integrity of this valuable fabric. Preserving the city’s historical landscape and compliance with the criteria of historical and cultural monuments is a common responsibility between executive agencies, citizens and cultural heritage officials, and the Kerman Cultural Heritage Office will prevent any unauthorized destruction or change in this area.
