Ahead of the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has announced that roads would be built to the homes of kar sevaks who lost their lives in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement.
Addressing a public event on Ayodhya, Maurya said: “These roads will be made in the name of Ram Bhakt Kar Sevak.” He said that the road to the house of the sacrificed Ram devotee would be named as “Kar Sevak Marg”. The name and photo of the sacrificed Ram devotee will also be displayed.
”Kar sevaks had come to Ayodhya in 1990 and wanted the darshan of Ram Lalla. The then SP government had fired bullets at the unarmed Lord Ram devotees. Many had died. Today, I announce that roads would be constructed in UP in the names of all such kar sevaks,” he said.
Maurya’s statement comes ahead of the 2022 Assembly polls in the state. Uttar Pradesh is considered to be most important for the BJP as it has been electing the highest number of MPs to Lok Sabha for two successive terms.
Meanwhile, the ongoing work in the construction of the Shri Ram temple has not been affected and the work of filling the foundation is being done in two consecutive shifts of 24 hours.
The Daily Guardian is the first newspaper which has brought exclusive pictures and videos of the Ram temple construction to its readers. At the same time, there are elaborate security arrangements in place in the Ram temple complex. The premises are being monitored 24 hours a day. For this, watch towers and CCTV cameras have been installed, so that the construction and surrounding activities are monitored at all times.
About 50 layers of 10-inch thick mixture of building material will be laid in about 50-feet deep foundation measuring 400 feet long and 300 feet wide. Six layers of building material mixture have been placed one on top of the other over the foundation land spread across 2.77 acres. The work of about 8 feet i.e. 9 layers, has been completed. And the filling of the 10th layer has also been done, and will now be compacted. The Ram Janmabhoomi complex in Ayodhya is of 70 acres of land, but at present, construction work is going on in 5 acres of land. The work of filling the foundation with engineering field material is being done by digging 400 feet long, 300 feet wide and 40 feet deep.
