Heritage Sites-preservation and protection

There is a news item that the Government of Pakistan plans to conserve and restore a Sikh ‘Samadhi’ and a Hindu temple, two important historical monuments located near the Lahore Fort, at a cost of Rs 22 million. Government of India should welcome and appreciate this plan of Pakistan. India should also ask Pakistan and offer cooperation and men, material and monetary assistance to the preservation of the sites of excavation of Indus Valley Civilization in Pakistan and protection of the excavated artifacts.

India should also with the International cultural organizations and the governments of Afghanistan and Iran explore sites of Indus Valley Civilization in those countries. India should also take initiative to cooperate with the Governments of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran for conservation and restoration of all Sikh, Hindu, Jain and Buddhist heritage sites in those countries.
