Vishva Bharti University clarifies on row over Unesco plaques, says they're temporary
Wednesday, 25 October 2023 Visva-Bharati University in Kolkata clarified that the plaques recently installed to mark Santiniketan's UNESCO heritage status were temporary and would be replaced soon. The plaques had caused controversy as they omitted the name of the university's founder, Rabindranath Tagore. The exclusion outraged some members of the university community who protested against the insult to Tagore. The university spokesperson clarified that the plaques did not adhere to UNESCO's guidelines and would be replaced once the text was provided by the Archaeological Survey of India and UNESCO.

In a startling discovery, five large bombs were found concealed within the walls of the historic al-Nuri Mosque in Mosul, a relic of ISIL’s (ISIS’s) brutal reign over the region. This finding highlights the ongoing challenges faced in clearing explosives and rebuilding war-torn areas of Iraq.
The al-Nuri Mosque, renowned for its 12th-century leaning minaret, was devastated by ISIL in 2017 during the battle to liberate Mosul. The mosque has been a key focus of the United Nations cultural agency UNESCO’s restoration efforts since 2020. On Tuesday, UNESCO announced the discovery of five large-scale explosive devices hidden inside the southern wall of the Prayer Hall.
