Horse discovery at Korkai excavation near Eral in Thoothukudi district
- Korkai had a special port about 2,500 years ago. The area under the rule of the Pandya kings was used for importing and exporting goods from abroad. From 1966 to 1969, the Nagasami team carried out excavations here on behalf of the Archaeological Survey of India.
- In this situation, after about 52 years, excavations are being carried out on behalf of the Archaeological Survey of Tamil Nadu. More than 100 ancient structures and materials have been found, including a 9-story brick pipe system and a brick construction system.
- A horse about 5 feet high has now been discovered. Officers tied the rope and took it up. Archaeologists are still struggling to gather enough evidence before reaching the final conclusions about the location of the horse.
- He is said to have resigned today on the advice of party supremo amid continuing tensions between him and state president Navjot Singh Sidhu in the Punjab Congress over the selection of the party's next leader. Meanwhile, Governor Banwarilal handed over his resignation letter to Purohit.
- The Union Government, on the advice of Chief Minister MK Stalin, was requested to add the game to the list of sports recognized under the 'Kelo India' program, with the aim of preserving the traditional and proud game of the Tamils and making the martial art of the Tamils known to the world.
- Recognizing this, the sport of Silambam has been recognized by the Sports Department of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports of the Union Government and has been incorporated under the 'New Kelo India' program under the theme 'Encouraging people from all walks of life through sports'.
- Chilambam, the heroic game of the Tamils, has been recognized by the Union Government and has added pride to Tamilnadu. Silambattam, the heroic sport of the Tamils, is a comprehensive martial art with many elements such as stick handling, leg movements and body movements.
