The Nepal PMs remarks were just an expression of the ancient folklore’s still prevalent among tribal people. The archaeological department has started excavating the region of Birgunj in Thori district.”The department has been holding several meetings with different ministries to discuss the possibility of starting archaeological studies in Thori of Birgunj,” it quoted Ram Bahadur Kunwar, the spokesperson for the DOA(Department of Archaeology).
