The ancient staircase that emerged during the excavation at Har ki Pauri remains a matter of discussion. These stairs are engraved with an ancient language which is beyond comprehension.

On Tuesday morning, repair work was in full swing from Harki Pauri to Brahmakund, during the digging of old stairs, some more old stairs were found out on which ancient language was inscribed.

Officials of Shri Ganga Sabha reached the spot and halted the work going on near these tracks and called the officials of the Archaeological Survey of India.
