Nepal has received a report of the geophysical survey conducted at archeological sites of Panchkhal municipality by expert team from the UK one year ago.

Pathak shared, "Immense potentiality of historic heritages was seen in the archeological sites, where the survey was conducted, in course of data analysis. The report of the survey received from the UK will mention it in details."

The detailed report of the survey would be released only after one month, said Spokesperson of the Department, Ram Bahadur Kunwar.

He added that geophysical survey was conducted at other places of the country including Panchkhal in order to find out what kind of physical infrastructures are under the ground in the first phase.
