It is reported that nearly 1,000 special items, including items of antique value, have gone missing from places including the Temple Trees, the President’s House, which were taken over by the militants.
According to police sources, special investigations have been started to find those items.
Information has been revealed to the investigation teams that some people have hidden some parts of antiques from these places.
Meanwhile, it is reported that the Department of Archeology does not have any specific recorded information about the antiquities, even though the Presidential Palace has been declared as an ancient site through a gazette notice.
A senior official of the Department of Archeology told media that it will be difficult to get specific and clear information about the destroyed and missing antiquities.
As the Presidential Palace had been maintained as a high-security special zone for some time, it is understood that due to the practical problems of visiting the place and gathering information, such information gathering has not taken place.
But the archeological officials admit that there were many articles of ancient value in the Presidential Palace.
Officials of the Criminal Investigation Department said that various organized people (druggies) have infiltrated places including the President’s House, Temple House and other places, under the guise of activists, and that these people have done most of the thefts.
Meanwhile, the government has already decided to implement the law against the people who occupied government positions under the guise of struggle.
