RECENTLY, I got the opportunity to visit the archaeological sight of Mohra Muradu Buddhist stupa, which is located near Taxila. It is well-preserved, and work was further under progress on the stupa with funding from the Philippines.

However, none of the archaeological sightsin Sindh are beingpreserved.Infact, they are in a shambles.

If the PPP wants to arrange a function for its chairman at Moenjodaro, it invests billions ofrupeesjustfora single event.But when it comes to the preservation of historical and archaeological sights, nobody cares even one bit.
