While a technical team of ASI will conduct a non-invasive technical assessment of the treasury to determine damages in the structure, CSIR-NGRI experts will examine the chambers to ascertain the geo-physical equipment, light and other elements required for conducting ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey in the treasury. The state government has approved a standard operating procedure (SOP) for the entire process.
