“The Hindu side is allowed to offer prayers at Vyas Ka Tekhana. The District administration will have to make arrangements within 7 days,” Jain said.
The mosque has four tehkhanas (cellars) in the basement out of which one is still in possession of the Vyas family who used to live here. Vyas had petitioned that as hereditary pujari he be allowed to enter the tehkhana and resume pooja.
