  The Kolkata Municipal Corporation is considering sending a proposal to the West Bengal Heritage Commission for revision in the formula of gradation of heritage structures.

The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has submitted a proposal to the West Bengal Heritage Commission to categorize heritage buildings into different grades based on their historical and architectural significance. This initiative aims to streamline the conservation efforts and ensure that buildings of greater importance receive priority in preservation. The proposal includes a detailed list of buildings, suggesting a gradation system where Grade I buildings are of national or historical importance, Grade II for those of regional significance, and Grade III for buildings that contribute to the character of the locality. This gradation will help in managing permissions for alterations, renovations, or demolitions, ensuring that the city's rich heritage is preserved while allowing for necessary urban development. The proposal also seeks to address the long-standing issue of delays in obtaining permissions for maintenance and modifications, which often leads to the deterioration of these structures.
