ASI ‘restores original name’ of Sambhal mosque to Juma masjid
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has renamed the 16th-century Mughal-era Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal to 'Juma Masjid,' installing a new blue signboard. This action follows a legal dispute and communal unrest sparked by historical claims that the mosque was built atop a Hindu temple, leading to a court-ordered survey and subsequent violence.
