A Zee News EXCLUSIVE interview with Kameshwar Chaupal, a trustee of the Shri Ram Janambhoomi Tirth Kshetra
The Ram Temple in Ayodhya is likely to be ready by the year 2022, said a trustee of the Shri Ram Janambhoomi Tirth Kshetra, Kameshwar Chaupal, in an exclusive interview to Zee News on Saturday.
In this regard, the first meeting among the members of the Ram Mandir Trust is likely to take place in New Delhi on February 19, Kameshwar Chaupal informed, adding that the members of the trust will reach the national capital on February 18 for this purpose.
The meeting was earlier supposed to have taken place in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj.
In the meeting, the process to construct the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Ram, will be discussed. The date to commence the process of temple construction is also likely to be finalised on the same day.
According to Chaupal, the 67-acre land will first be metered and levelled, and then the foundation stone will be laid. The construction of the temple will take place on a highly auspicious day.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be asked to lay the foundation stone of the Ram temple, the trustee informed.
Chaupal also lamented the fact that the 67 acres of land allotted will not be enough for the temple and more land will be needed for the same.
On February 5, PM Modi had announced in the Parliament that the Centre is setting up an independent trust named Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra trust to finalise the details for the construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
"On November 9, 2019, I was in Punjab for Kartarpur Sahib Corridor's inauguration. During the inauguration ceremony, the Supreme Court judgement on Ayodhya was delivered and I got to know about the historic decision. Uttar Pradesh government has already given its approval for giving 5 acres of land to the Sunni Waqf Board," Modi had said.
The announcement to form the trust was made after the prime minister chaired a meeting of the Union Cabinet on Wednesday.
Later that day, the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a notification announcing that the office of the trust will be in New Delhi. The registered office of the trust is R-20, Greater Kailash Part-1, New Delhi.
