"Would everything be okay when they take all of it?" she asked addressing a press conference. Notably, as the third day of the court-ordered videography survey of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple-Gyanvapi Mosque complex in Varanasi concluded oday, the Hindu petitioner in the case, Sohan Lal Arya claimed a ‘Shivling’ has been found inside the well in the mosque complex. “The Shivling is 12 feet by 8 inches in diameter Nandi faced,” he added. After the conclusion of the survey, the Varanasi court ordered the District Magistrate of Varanasi, Kaushal Raj Sharma, “to seal the area where the Shivling was found and to bar people from going to the place.” In its order, the court said that the DM, police commissioner and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) commandant Varanasi will be responsible for the security of the sealed area.
