In an important development, scientists from the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), along with other researchers from Panjab University, Birbal Sahni Institute, and Benaras Hindu University, unravelled the mystery of the huge human skeletons that were found in the well of Ajnala in Punjab a few years back. The scientists established that these 160-year-old skeletons belonged to residents of the Ganga plain.
In early 2014, a large number of human skeletons were excavated from an old well in Ajnala, Punjab.
