Situation of old Mughal mosque in india: Afsarwala Mosque

last month i was on the tour of India, where i visit Humayun tomb of new delhi , on the begining of humayun tomb complex there is a way to go right hand side, there is a very old mosque of mughal times. previously this mosque was known as afsarwala mosque where officers of mughal court use to pray. now a days situation of this mosque is very dangerous it is looking like a khandahar , it is looking like the living place of birds.
Along with this mosque there is afsarwala tomb, a octagonal building there is 3 tomb. on the wall of tomb arabic word is written from the verses of Quran but people are allowed to go there by wearing shoe that was very awkward moment for me. there should be a sufficient rule to respect the Quranic verses.
The date of this tomb and mosque is same that is this was build in 1566-67 CE. where officer's of Akbar's court used to offer Namaz so called afsarwala mosque.have a look of this mosque by videos.

Have look by pictures.
