Pakistan successfully recovered 1,252 stolen artifacts from its national heritage within the last year, according to the National Assembly Standing Committee on National Heritage. The artifacts were returned to the country after being displayed at Sir Syed Memorial Hall. The Federal Minister for Lok Virsa revealed that the Capital Development Authority has not allocated land for the construction of a new museum, which could hinder future preservation efforts.
In response to a query, the secretary clarified that the $50,000 received from UNESCO in 2025 was intended for provincial governments and was subsequently returned to them. Additionally, the department's financial situation is dire, as it lacks sufficient funds to cover employee salaries, leaving no room for new projects.
