PATNA: As the modernization, renovation and extension work of Patna Museum is in full swing, the officials concerned have made a proper layout for the archaeological excavation of the premises, which will begin soon. The excavation programme was inaugurated by CM Nitish Kumar on May 2.
Vimal Tiwari, additional director of the museum, said the extension layout of the premises was drawn from eastern side to southern area. “The excavation work will begin soon from a garden near the main gate for which we have already got the licence from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). As per the plan, we have made 10/10-metre trenches and excavation will be carried out accordingly. We will expand the area based on our findings,” he said.
