CHANDIGARH: After failing to capitalize on getting a place on the tentative list of UNESCOworld heritage sites in 2007, the UT administration is now hopeful of sending a comprehensive dossier to justify its claim on the permanent list, with Le Corbusier Foundation offering its assistance to the administration. The next deadline for sending nominations is January 31, 2013.

Sources said the foundation has sent a letter to the administration, offering to help it in preparation of the dossier, which has to be submitted to Archeological Survey of India ( ASI), which was the nodal agency for Indian entries.

Last year, UT had not sent its nomination. This was in sharp contrast to the past three years, 2008, 2009 and 2010, when the administration had tried hard to get a place on the heritage list after it was put on the tentative list in 2007.
