This paper's report about Conservation Architect Vikas Dilawari posting pictures of the restored Gothic-style figurines on the façade of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) building, in which they look nothing less than doll-like zoo zoos, has brought the issue to the notice of Diana Robertson, great-great-grand-daughter of the building's original architect Fredrick William Stevens. Apart from expressing regret about what was being done to the UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site, she signed an online petition on the matter started by city-based heritage enthusiast Vinayak Talwar.
