Unnao: A month after the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) began excavations in Daudiya Kheda area here following a seer's claim that 1,000 tonnes of gold was buried at the site, officials yesterday stopped the dig after hitting a dead end.
The ASI team today held a meeting with the administrative officials and decided to stop further digging work at Raja Rao Ram Baksh Singh fort.
ADM Vijay Shankar Dubey said workers had filled dug-up spots and would continue to fill more such places in the next two days.
The digging had started on October 18. Neither ASI officials nor seer Shobhan Sarkar who was present in the ashram commented on the development. ASI's move was communicated to the media through the ADM.
