INDORE/MHOW:
ASI
carried out excavations at four of eight blocks inside the
Bhojshala
main building on Monday.
Hindu
representative Gopal Sharma said a wall-like structure has become visible and portions of four such
walls
are now seen, one of which is 50 feet long.
Excavation
was done on the northern and southern sides and workers were removing soil and silt very slowly, he said, adding that inscriptions inside the Kamal Maula Dargah were traced on paper rolls and walls were treated with chemicals.
A portion of a broken statue-like structure was excavated in the central hall, believed to be the sanctum sanctorum by Hindus. Soil removal work may take two-three days more, he said. Reacting to the survey, Dhar Shahar Qazi Waqar Sadiq said, "ASI is violating SC orders in relation to survey as they are doing physical excavation which could harm the monument ."
