The Union Government has identified Rakhigarhi in Haryana among five archaeological sites in the country to be developed as iconic site with on-site museums to promote culture and tourism.

Presenting the Budget, Union Finance Minister Sitharaman said, “Five archaeological sites will be developed as iconic sites with on-site Museums.” The other sites are Hastinapur in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, Dholavira in Gujarat, Adichanallur in Tamil Nadu and Sivasagar in Assam.

Rakhigarhi is a village located in Hisar district that dates back to the historic Indus Valley Civilisation.

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).
