Excavations initiated on Friday in the Laxmanganj area, under the Archaeological Survey of India's supervision, mark an important move towards heritage preservation in Sambhal. Priyanka Singh, the excavation incharge from the municipality, noted the engagement of 40 to 50 laborers working diligently in shifts to uncover and restore historic structures.

Parallelly, significant security developments unfolded with the commencement of a new police outpost near Jama Masjid. Security has been a primary concern, especially after recent violent incidents in the area.
