Funds for excavation at Lakhian Jo Daro insufficient: Shah Abdul Latif University Vice-Chancellor

Sukkur: Shah Abdul Latif University Vice-Chancellor Nelofar Shaikh said on Friday that the Rs1 million provided by the government for excavation work at the newly discovered 5,500-year-old Lakhian Jo Daro was insufficient and called for more funds to carry out the job in a smooth manner.

She said on a visit to the archaeological site discovered by the university experts a day ago that Lakhian Jo Daro was part of historical heritage and the government should establish a museum and a laboratory at the site.

She said that the site was part of the Indus Valley Civilisation and praised hard work by the team of archaeologists headed by project director Ghulam Hussain Shar.

Ghulam Hussain Shar said that the team comprising 26 members was busy in excavation work and expressed the hope that the government would provide more funds. The work would take four to five months and it would require al least Rs2 million, he said. Dawn
