How does Article 48A impact the protection of monuments, places, and objects of artistic or historic interest?
Article 48A does not directly impact the protection of monuments, places, and objects of artistic or historic interest. It focuses on the protection and improvement of the environment, safeguarding forests, and wild life of the country. The protection of monuments is addressed in Article 51, which states that it shall be the obligation of the State to protect every monument or place or object of artistic or historic importance from spoliation, disfigurement, destruction, removal, disposal or export.
