The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has filed a legal affidavit in Sambhal Court, accusing the mosque committee of obstructing its work at Jama Masjid, a protected monument. In the affidavit, the ASI claims that it has faced significant interference from the mosque committee, making it difficult for them to carry out necessary inspections and preservation activities at the site. The ASI has protected Jama Masjid, located in Sambhal, since 1920. The agency is responsible for maintaining and preserving such historic sites. However, the ASI asserts that the mosque committee's actions have hindered their efforts, preventing them from fulfilling their duty to ensure the proper care and maintenance of the structure. The ASI's affidavit elaborates that repeated attempts to conduct inspections and restoration work have been met with resistance from the mosque authorities. The organization emphasised the importance of adhering to regulations to preserve the integrity of the monument, given its historical significance.
