Ayodhya's Ram Temple Main Construction Work To Be Completed By October; Landscaping By Jan 1
Last Updated:
The Ram temple in Ayodhya will be completed by October 31, with its 70-acre compound ready by January 1. Landscaping by GMR starts in November.
Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust general secretary Champat Rai said that the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya will be completed by October 31, while the temple's 70-acre-wide compound will be ready in its green avatar by January 1 next year.
'The landscaping work of the temple, to be taken up by GMR, is expected to begin in the first week of November," he added.
Emphasising that public 'darshan' (viewing) should not be hindered, Rai highlighted the pending works crucial for the security of the temple complex.
The pending tasks include constructing the boundary wall, which hasn't started yet. These tasks, along with building the auditorium, restrooms, and Trust office, 'may take another year to complete," he added.
Vinod Mehta, project director, Larsen and Toubro construction team, said that all the milestones pertaining to the completion of the temple are going to be achieved by October 31.
'Post that, L&T will start the process of pulling out from the project. Whatever has been defined in our scope of work will be achieved by then. That is what we are targeting at present," said Mehta on Friday.
Officials estimate the landscaping work for the Ram temple project will take 6-8 weeks to complete.
'With the help of the latest technology, the land filling and landscaping work should not take a lot of time. And people visiting the temple would be able to enjoy their time in the gardens and green space. The temple trust would chart out which areas are going to be opened for the devotees later," said an officer.
The Ram temple construction started following the Supreme Court's 2019 landmark verdict on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute. Hindu litigants had claimed the Babri mosque was built on a temple marking Lord Ram's birthplace.
The consecration ceremony was held on January 22 last year.
