ASI collects samples from well discovered after mosque demolition in Saharanpur

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) inspected a 20-foot-deep well discovered during debris removal at the site of a recently demolished mosque in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The well, found beneath rubble on September 4, was examined by ASI officials along with local authorities to assess its historical significance. The structure, built with Lakhori bricks and lime-surkhi mortar, appears to date back to the later medieval period and is common in the Ganga Valley region. Officials collected soil and brick samples for further analysis. The mosque was demolished on September 5 following court orders that deemed it an illegal encroachment on government land.
