Fresh Plea Filed for ASI Survey of All Closed Cellars of Gyanvapi
    Uncategorized

Days after the district court ruled that a priest can perform prayers in a cellar of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, India, a petitioner has filed a plea seeking an ASI survey of all other closed basements in the complex. The petition, filed by Rakhi Singh, a founding member of the Vishwa Vedic Sanatan Sangh, states that there are secret cellars inside the basements, and it is necessary to survey them to reveal the entire truth of the Gyanvapi mosque. The Varanasi district court will hear the petition on Tuesday. The Gyanvapi complex has a total of eight cellars, out of which six have already been surveyed by ASI. However, cellars N1 and S1 are still closed. Singh argues that surveying these cellars is important to establish the religious nature of the Gyanvapi premises, as both Muslim and Hindu parties have made conflicting claims. Singh also highlights that the entrances to cellars N1 and S1 are completely obstructed, which prevented ASI from surveying them earlier.
