Allahabad: Hindu petitioners were on Wednesday afternoon given permission by a city court in Varanasi to worship inside the basement of the Gyanvapi mosque in the city, which had earlier been sealed.

The court has said that prayers could be conducted in the mosque by priests from the Vishwanath Temple, also ordering the removal of the barricades preventing entry to the basement of the mosque, which had been ordered to be sealed by the Supreme Court during the survey operation of the Archaelogical Survey of India.

Further details are awaited.
