Chandigarh, May 17

Varanasi Court on Tuesday gave two-day extension to submit final survey report in Gyanvapi Mosque case as requested by survey team. The court also removed survey commissioner, Ajay Mishra, amid allegations of survey reports being leaked to media by one of his close aides. However, 2 other survey commissioners will continue their work of survey.

The Varanasi court-appointed Commission that carried out the survey of the Kashi Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi mosque complex had earlier submitted an application in the court seeking two additional days to submit its report.

On Monday, the Varanasi court directed the district administration to seal the spot in the mosque complex where a Shivling was claimed to have been found during the videography survey.

Muslim panel, however, accused authorities of sealing premises without hearing.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
