Gurugram, February 6

A local environmentalist has discovered stone carvings (petroglyphs) at Badshahpur Tethar village in Sohna here. Prima facie the carvings seem to be from the Paleolithic era (old stone age).

The petroglyphs have been discovered atop a hillock. The findings include graffiti, and hand and footprints of humans and animals engraved on quartzite rocks. The Archaeology Department has ordered a survey of the site.

Sunil Harsana, who claimed to have found the site, said, “The archaeologists have confirmed that the petroglyphs are from the stone age.” The Archaeological Department said it would soon carry out an extensive survey of the area.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
