District Collector Vijay Kiran Anand said, the district administration will provide full police protection to ASI experts.
In the morning, local sadhu Shobhan Sarkar, who claimed he had a dream that 1,000 tonnes of gold lies buried in the remains of the fort, perform “bhoomi poojan” and marked the points to be excavated by the ASI team.
When asked about how much time it would take to dig out the treasure, Sarkar said Geological Survey of India (GSI) would be able to answer that accurately, adding the treasure would not be found concentrated at one place.
