UP, 21/6:Cheques worth Rs 22 crore, donated towards building the Ram Temple at Ayodhya, have bounced even as the Ram Janma Bhoomi Teerth Khestra Trust, which is overseeing the construction work, has so far received more than Rs 5,400 crore in donations.
An office bearer said on Monday that the trust received Rs 3,500 crore in donations during the January – March 2021 donation campaign alone. “As many as 1,500 cheques have bounced owing to some technical issues…many of the people who had given those cheques have contacted us for fresh donations,” the official said.
According to the trust’s office bearers, the idols of ‘Ram Lalla’ would be installed at the sanctum-sanctorum on January 24, 2024. “The entire complex of the temple will be completed by the end of 2025,” an official said.
