Lucknow, Nov 25: In order to pacify the saints demanding immediate construction of Ram Temple at Ayodhya, the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh, on the eve of the proposed Dharam Sabha of VHP at Ayodhya, has unveiled a proposal to construct a 221 meter tall Lord Ram statue near the banks of Saryu river in the temple city.

The announcement was made by the CM on Saturday night in the state capital after finalising the details of the construction following presentation by five companies.

Additional chief secretary (Information) Avnish Awasthi said here on Sunday that while the height of the Ram statue would be 151 metres, its overhead umbrella would be 20 metres while the pedestal would be 50 metres.

He said the statue will be made of bronze.

Mr Awasthi said there will be a provision for a “modern museum” inside the base that will showcase the history of Ayodhya and the entire “Ikshvaku Vansh” right from King Manu to the present status of “Ram Janmabhoomi”.

Wasting the public money.

Instead of statue in the name Shri Ram, Use it for poor in that name.

 

Make good projects for poor,  schools or hospitals for welfare. put the name of the project in Ram.

 

May God good give good wisdom

New Delhi, Jun 8: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced that malls, restaurants and religious places in the national capital would open from Monday after more than two months since the coronavirus-induced lockdown was imposed, but banquet halls and hotels would remain closed.

At an online briefing on Sunday, Kejriwal said hotels and banquet halls might be converted into hospitals in the coming days to treat coronavirus patients and therefore, they would remain shut.

"Malls, restaurants and religious places will be opening from Monday in Delhi in accordance with the Centre's guidelines," he said.

The city government will comply with the instructions of the Centre and its experts like maintaining social distancing and wearing of masks at these places, Kejriwal said.

"In view of the rising number of coronavirus cases, we might attach hotels and banquet halls with hospitals and convert them into hospitals. Hotels and banquet halls will not be opened for now," he said.

The Centre had said on May 30 that "Unlock-1" would be initiated in the country from June 8 and the lockdown would be relaxed to a great extent.

The Delhi government also issued an order allowing opening of restaurants, shopping malls and places of worship except in the COVID-19 containment zones, "subject to compliance with the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare".

Kejriwal urged the elderly people, who are at a higher risk of contracting the coronavirus, to confine themselves in a room and not to interact with even the family members in order to protect themselves.

Delhi has so far registered over 27,500 coronavirus cases, including 761 deaths.
