ASI to Investigate Well Found Beneath Demolished Mosque in Saharanpur
Following the demolition of an unauthorised mosque within the Saharanpur Collectorate complex in Uttar Pradesh, officials discovered a nearly 20-foot-deep, brick-lined well beneath the debris. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has been called to investigate the well's age and historical significance. The demolition followed court orders after appeals by the mosque's occupants were rejected. The discovery has raised questions about the site's history, while political leaders have expressed differing views on the demolition's legality and timing.
