April 9: Dingla Munda was digging a pond in his backyard when his spade struck something hard.

An official at the ASI office in Guwahati said a team will visit the site soon. “We will decide only after we see the objects and the site,” he added.

Charaideo, located about 30 km from Sivasagar town off the Sivasagar-Simuluguri Road, was the first capital of the Ahom kingdom established by the first Ahom King, Swargadeo Chaolung Sukapha, in 1253.
