The Supreme Court told the Madhya Pradesh government to follow its order to give Muslims a place next to the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque for Friday prayers.
The Muslims said the government gave a place 2km away, but the government said it's only 900 meters away and they're trying to find a spot right next to the mosque.
The court wants a report by Friday.
