Amid heavy security, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on Friday started a survey of the controversial Bhojshala/Kamal Maula Mosque complex situated in the tribal-dominated Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh.

The ASI team reached the complex on Friday morning and was accompanied by senior local police and district administration officials.

“The survey has begun at the Bhojshala. We have provided all the logistical support that the ASI team needed to conduct it. Adequate security measures were taken for the exercise and there is peace in the town,” news agency PTI quoted Dhar Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar Singh as saying.
