Tag: Puri Lion Sculpture

Though Puri district collector Samarth Verma visited the site to take stock of the construction work, he did not visit the place from where the stone sculpture was unearthed. Moreover, he refused to make any comment on it.

It was alleged that ground-penetrating radar survey (GPRS) was not undertaken at the site before carrying out digging activities which resulted in damage to the antique sculpture.
