Ayodhya(Uttar Pradesh): Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra has started the temporary construction of Sri Ram temple in Ayodhya from Thursday. On the very first day, with the help of two earthmovers and forty labourers, the work of levelling has begun. According to sources, the temporary construction of the temple will take about 23 days so that devotees can come at the earliest to offer prayers. Devotees have already started coming in large numbers.
The sanctum sanctorum of the Sri Ram temple will be bulletproof and the location for this has been kept in the south-east direction of Janambhoomi site. It has been done so that no obstruction should be allowed during worship in the Manas Bhawan.

While interacting with ETV Bharat, Vishwa Hindu Parishad's spokesperson Sharad Sharma said that the trust has ensured that there will be no hindrance in people's worship programme. This remains the sole reason for the temporary construction before the main temple is built.
Sharma said,'' We welcome the Government's move to make the temple's sanctum Sanctorum bulletproof along with tight security arrangements. We have been saying since January that the sound of the chisel hammer will be heard in the Sri Ram Janmabhoomi area. We hope that the temple will be constructed soon''.
On November 9 2019, Supreme Court had announced it's decision to give the disputed land for the construction of Ram temple and at the same time, the other religious group was allocated five acres of land.
