300-year old palace reduced to ashes in Himachal Pradesh

The following news on Times Of India site saddened me:

"A centuries old palace made of wood and stone in traditional Himalayan style architecture has been reduced to ashes in a tiny Himachal Pradesh town. The palace was around 300 years old and belonged to the erstwhile rulers of Kumarsain in the Shimla hills."

It seems short circuit was responsible for sending 300 years' history up in smoke. :-(

Isn't it high time we, the citizens of the country did something to protect our heritage?
