NEW DELHI:

The mosque committee urged the top court to issue directions to the DM not to take any steps/actions with regard to the investigation of the well, and open the well constructed outside the structure without due permission from this court.

"District administration Sambhal is conducting a purported drive to revive old temples and wells in the city with reports indicating that at least 32 old unused temples have been revived and 19 wells have been identified which are being made operational for public prayers/use," the application stated.
