Sir, Chandraketugarh near Kolkata had been a centre of civilization right from the fourth Century B.C. and an international hub of maritime trade. My question to the hon. Minister is: Would the Government explore the mounds of Chandraketugarh also for high resolution satellite imaging along with ground penetrating radar to search the buried sites as has been done in other States. Sir, I had specifically asked whether the Government was considering Chandraketugarh for exploring.
