Stone carving for proposed Ram temple restarts

Lucknow: After a gap of almost four years,
work at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas temple workshop restarted
today with carving of stones for the proposed Ram temple at
Ayodhya.

Chairman of the Nyas Mahant Nritya Gopaldas and VHP
international general secretary Dinesh Chandra handed over
stones to workers for carving after rituals, VHP spokesman
Sharad Sharma said.

The work for carving of stones for the proposed Ram
temple had started in 1990 and continued till 2007, he said.

The spokesman said the Mahant demanded that a resolution
be passed in Parliament paving the way for construction of Ram
temple like the Somnath temple.

Mahant said almost 65 per cent stones had already been
carved and the remaining work would be completed soon.
