VARANASI: On the eve of Friday namaz, the district administration held a meeting with the authorities of Gyanvapi mosque management committee — Anjuman Intejamia Masajid — on Thursday and made it clear that they were equally responsible for the security of sealed wuzu pond as the Supreme Court had issued order to restrict entry of anyone to the place where shivling was found, in their own petition.
District magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma said that apart from holding meeting with mosque management authorities, a notice has also been issued to them. “They have been directed to ensure that no one tampers the seals on nine doors of the pond and no provocative act takes place there during Friday namaj,” he said.
