ASI to Examine Well Found Beneath Demolished Mosque in Saharanpur
A nearly 20-foot-deep well was discovered beneath the debris of a mosque demolished at the Saharanpur collectorate premises in Uttar Pradesh. The demolition followed court orders rejecting appeals by the Muslim side. Officials, including the Sub-Divisional Magistrate Subodh Kumar, have called the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to investigate the well's age and historical significance. The well has been covered, and police maintain security at the site amid political controversy over the demolition's legality and timing.
