Hisar, June 7

The state government has declared an ancient mound in Mughalpura village as a protected site. According to information, it issued a gazette notification on May 1 this year to notify the mound measuring 34 acres and 4 kanals as a protected area.

Artefacts found

Hisar DN College history professor Dr Mahender Kumar said he and his students had visited the site while doing research work in 2006. He added that the site could provide abundant information on Indian culture and heritage.

According to some historians, the mound was a human settlement about 5,000 years ago and some coins recovered from the site belonged to the Delhi Sultanate period.

A former sarpanch of the village, Satyawan Verma, said the artefacts recovered were preserved at college museums in Hisar, Panipat and Kurukshetra. The villagers demanded that the district administration should ensure that the site was not used as a dumping ground and work on archaeological excavation should begin soon.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising four eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the paper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
