India has sent a revised list of monuments and sites across the country for inclusion in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization catalogue of World Heritage Sites.
Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Culture Dr Mahesh Sharma on Wednesday informed the Rajya Sabha that the list, which contains 46 monuments and sites, include the Khangchendzonga National Park in Sikkim; Buddhist sites at Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh; Sri Harminder Sahib in Amritsar; and the Chilika Lake in Odisha, among others.
Dr. Sharma further told the House that the list had been sent to UNESCO in April 2014.
