Gyanvapi row: ASI survey resumes on 4th day after 3 hours delay
Live MintThe Archaeological Survey of India on 7 August resumed the survey of the Gyanvapi mosque on the fourth day, however, the work was delayed by three hours due to a rush at the adjacent Kashi Vishwanath temple. On Sunday, the ASI continued their survey at the Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi to determine if the 17th century mosque is built upon a pre-existing structure. Lawyer Sudhir Tripathi, representing the Hindu side, said that they have discovered remains of fragmented idols amidst the debris during the ongoing survey conducted by the Archeological Survey of India at the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi. Earlier on Friday, the apex court refused to stay the Allahabad High Court order that allowed the ASI survey of the Gyanvapi mosque, which is an exercise that the Muslim side says will 'reopen wounds of the past'.
