edge. ASI survey of Bhojshala located in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh is going on. On the orders of Madhya Pradesh High Court, ASI had started scientific survey in Bhojshala of Dhar from March 22. Madhya Pradesh High Court had given 6 weeks time to ASI for scientific survey of the disputed Bhojshala complex. Now ASI has asked for 8 more weeks’ time from the court. ASI has also given a very important reason in the court for asking for more time.
ASI filed an application in the High Court and asked for 8 more weeks time to survey the Bhojshala and the reason for this was that after a detailed investigation it was found that the verandah at the entrance was filled in later. The original features of this structure are being hidden due to the later filling done in the verandah of Bhojshala. ASI has said in the High Court that this fill has to be removed without damaging the original structure. This work is very slow and time consuming. ASI has said that it has requested NGRI to use ground penetrating radar. Ground penetrating radar can easily detect stones and things hidden under the ground.
