In a recent development, the Allahabad High Court has directed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to whiten the outer facade of the Sambhal Jama Masjid in Uttar Pradesh. The mosque committee has been instructed to bear the costs of this restoration work within a week. This decision came in response to a petition filed by the mosque management committee. The court’s ruling includes a review of the situation on April 8, taking into account additional conditions outlined in the ASI report. The directive aims to preserve the historical significance of the mosque while ensuring its upkeep and maintenance. Stay tuned for further updates on this matter.
