Staffing levels (professional, technical, maintenance)<br />
A team of officers from each department, agency and organization mentioned<br />
above are deployed to plan, execute and monitor the conservation,<br />
development, protection, maintenance and management of the nominated site.<br />
The section provides an overview of the issues and complexities related to the<br />
existing protective and management systems and multiple agencies that are<br />
responsible for their implementation.<br />
There exists a very well-defined and implementable framework of legal,<br />
administrative and operational mechanisms BUT it is the multiplicity of agencies<br />
and their specific approaches that need to be addressed in a more holistic and<br />
effective manner. Therefore,<br />
It is proposed to set up an overarching nodal agency that will<br />
coordinate with all these agencies/ organisations issues and<br />
activities related to the World <strong>Heritage</strong> <strong>City</strong> of <strong>Delhi</strong>.<br />
