But the resumption of work on Monday was delayed by three hours and it could start only by at 11 a.m. due to the rush of devotees at the Kashi Vishwanath temple, he said.
The work of mapping, measuring and photography of the places covered on Sunday will continue, he said.
"The work of photography, mapping and measurement was done and the basement of Vyas ji has also been surveyed. The work of the survey will take more time," he had said on Sunday.
