Gyanvapi mosque survey updates: The court-ordered survey’s primary phase is now complete, and the secondary phase with “machines” has started. At 10.30 on Monday, a team of Archaeological assessment of India (ASI) experts will pick up their scientific assessment of the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi. Given that today is the fifth Monday of the “Sawan” month, which the Hindus believe to be one of the most auspicious times of the year, there might be a minor delay, according to Sudhir Tripathi, an attorney for the Hindu side, who spoke to news agency.
The Anjuman Intezamia Committee, which oversees the mosque, is working with the survey, he continued, and the job is proceeding. The Anjuman Intezamia Committee, which oversees the mosque, is working with the survey, he continued, and the job is proceeding.
Subhash Nandan Chaturvedi, a different lawyer from the Hindu side, provided news agency with an update on the ASI survey, stating that the work is being done in a “systematic” manner and that the “measurements will take some time.” Top updates on the ASI study of the Gyanvapi mosque complex: On Sunday, scientific examinations of the region beneath the three domes of the Gyanvapi mosque were carried out to ascertain whether a Hindu temple had previously stood where the 17th-century masjid now stands. Vishnu Shankar Jain, the attorney for the Hindu side, said that the land had been photographed, mapped, and measured as well as certain basements having been cleaned
Later, Jain noted that since the survey was conducted with the court’s approval, representatives of the Hindu side would refrain from commenting on its results. The court-ordered survey’s primary phase is now complete, and the secondary phase, which uses “machines” like radars, has started. The Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and other methods were used for the task, according to Tripathi’s statement on Saturday. He continued, “The Hindu side is happy with the survey thus far.
On Sunday, Ahmad criticised the Hindu groups for reportedly “spreading rumours” that pieces of Hindu idols had been discovered among the complex’s debris. Even in places where a poll has not yet been conducted, rumours are being propagated. There will be a frenzy when the public sees this, Ahmad told news reporter. A portion of the media, according to Anjuman Intezamia Masjid joint secretary Syed Mohammad Yasin, incorrectly reported that idols, “trishul,” and “kalash,” were discovered during the survey of the “tahkhaanaa” (basement) on Saturday. The Muslim side will once more boycott the survey work, he warned, if such acts are not stopped.
