On this matter, District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma said that this decision was taken after meeting with all the concerned parties in this regard. At the same time, in this regard, UP's ADG Law and Order Prashant Kumar said that during the videography survey, the order of the court will be complied with. It is our policy to negotiate a solution with all parties. While there is enough force to deal with any contingency. Also said that we are keeping an eye on the whole situation and strict action will be taken against whoever tries to disturb the law and order.

With this, Prashant Kumar said that the central force is deployed in the security of Kashi Vishwanath complex. So every aspect is being monitored from the state level regarding the Gyanvapi issue. He said that Mathura, Taj Mahal and Ayodhya also have a special plan for security. According to the information, the work of videography survey will run from 8 am to 12 noon on Saturday. By the way, the Muslim side has challenged the decision of the local court in the Supreme Court regarding the survey of Gyanvapi Masjid. But he says that if the court does not give any decision on this, then he can also approach the High Court. Till then he will cooperate in the videography-survey work in Gyanvapi campus.

The court said this

Civil court judge (senior division) Ravi Kumar Diwakar, while dismissing the objection of the Muslim side, had decided to conduct a survey inside the Gyanvapi mosque and not to remove the Advocate Commissioner Ajay Mishra appointed for this work. Meanwhile, Syed Mohammad Yasin, joint secretary of the Gyanvapi Masjid's maintenance body 'Anjuman Inazaniya Masajid', said that we have challenged the order passed by the court of Civil Judge Ravi Kumar Diwakar on Thursday in the Supreme Court. The court has said that it will go through all the files before passing any order on it. If he does not pass any order on this matter then we can also approach the High Court. "Till then we will cooperate in compliance of the order given by the district court," he said.

Earlier, counsel for Muslim side Abhay Nath Yadav had said that no final decision has been taken yet on challenging the decision of the district court in the high court. Whereas any decision will be taken on this only after consultation.

It is noteworthy that the Varanasi court had on Thursday dismissed the petition seeking removal of the court commissioner appointed for conducting a videography survey of the Gyanvapi Shringar-Gauri complex on charges of favoritism, clarifying that videography would be done inside the Gyanvapi mosque as well. The Civil Court Judge (Senior Division) Diwakar, while rejecting the petition for removal of Court Commissioner Ajay Mishra, appointed Vishal Singh as Special Court Commissioner and Ajay Pratap Singh as Assistant Court Commissioner. Along with this, the court has also directed to present the report by May 17 after videography of the entire complex. Meanwhile, on TV channels, people of Muslim society were seen going to the Gyanvapi Masjid to offer Namaz amid tight security on Friday.
