Supreme Court Temporarily Halts ASI Survey at Varanasi's Gyanvapi Mosque
The Supreme Court has put a two-day hold on the Archaeological Survey of India's (ASI) survey at Varanasi's Gyanvapi Mosque. The mosque's management committee expressed concerns that the survey might lead to excavation within the historic mosque complex, situated next to the renowned Kashi Vishwanath Temple. However, the center assured the court that the survey would involve only measurement, photography, and radar studies, with no intention of altering the structure. The court acknowledged the center's submissions and confirmed that no excavation would take place for a week until next Monday.
