The proposed Ram temple in Ayodhya will be ready within three or three-and-a-half years after construction starts, Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj, the treasurer of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust, said today.

He said financial cooperation from devotees for constructing the temple would be accepted.

“Akshardham Temple was built in three years and so was the Statue of Unity. We too are thinking to build in three to three-and-a-half years a grand temple of Lord Ram at Ayodhya,” Giriji Maharaj said told the media here.

“Going by the enthusiasm with which people send bricks, they will now also donate money and Lord Ram’s temple will be built with people’s funds and public support,” he added. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
