Gyanvapi mosque survey Day 3: Hindu side lawyer says ‘fragments of idols’ found

Live Mint  

The Archaeological Survey of India on Sunday 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. The survey, which lasted for the entire day, concluded at 5 pm, and the ASI team departed from the mosque complex. On Friday, the Supreme Court declined to issue a stay on the Allahabad High Court's order regarding the ASI survey of the Gyanvapi mosque, which the Muslim side believes will "reopen wounds of the past." The first day of the survey lasted approximately seven hours, during which the ASI team primarily documented the layout and captured images of structures within the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi.
