This historical tomb, located near the railway station and the tourist office has started losing its luster due to lack of maintenance. The upper part of the Fateh Jung dome is weak and can collapse at any time. Due to this, tourists coming here can also become victims of accidents. At present, the movement of tourists has been banned here.<ref>{{Cite web|title=अलवर में उखडऩे लगी हैं इतिहास की परतें, 500 साल पुरानी इमारत हो रही खंडहर|url=https://www.patrika.com/alwar-news/fatehjung-gumbad-of-alwar-is-in-bad-condition-3235563/|access-date=2021-09-25|website=Patrika News|date=10 August 2018 |language=hindi}}</ref><br />
