UN asks Pakistan to reverse 'reconstructions' at Taxila sites

Wait 5 sec.

UNESCO has warned Pakistan to reverse "reconstruction" work at Taxila's historical sites, Mohra Moradu and Sirkap, or risk being placed on the UN agency's "danger list." Concerns were raised about interventions undermining the sites' integrity, with new masonry replacing ancient walls and heights being altered. Pakistan's archaeology department insists the work is conservation, not reconstruction, aimed at stabilization and preservation.
