Aryan grave site
This is with reference to news item � Aryan grave site in Chitral�.
The news items reveal the department of archaeology is engaged in
excavating important archaeological sites in various districts of
NWFP including Chitral. I would like to draw the kind attention of
the Govt of Pakistan, the NWFP Government and United Nations
Educational and Scientific Organisation (UNESCO) towards the
proposal of the construction of officers Mess and Guesthouse at the
important archaeological site of � Lakapo Dok� in Mastuj district
Chitral. The site is situated on 200 feet high mound, which remains
of 600 BC grave site. It is pertinent to mention that NWFP Govt has
constructed building of high school on another archaeological site
at Brep Chitral in 1978. � Noghor Dok� in Brep house remains of 2nd
century AD fort and Budhist relics of great significance. I appeal
to the culture department, Archaeology department and the UNESCO to
play their active role in protecting the, 600 BC archaeological
site of � Lakapo Dok� from being raised to ground in order to erect
an unnecessary officers Mess and Guesthouse at the site.
