They have a verity of features to attract nature lovers, researchers. As a part of tourism these forts are of very much importance. But many of them are not maintained properly, monuments have not been repaired. Photography is not allowed at some forts. In such cases, how would it be possible to attract people to these monuments? Though government has included these forts in master list, it has not taken any action to restore them. Mr.S.Gojmgunde, representative of Sahyadri Pratishthan has asked the Chief Minister to allocate money to repair the damaged monuments on these forts.
