SOME homeowners have allegedly started bulldozing historic properties in Muharraq earmarked for preservation, after growing fed up of waiting for the heritage project to start.
Demolition of around 1,300 residences in old parts of Muharraq, Hidd and Arad has been banned by the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (Baca), which wants to restore traditional neighbourhoods to their former glory .
