Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Trust expands holdings, acquires additional land
LUCKNOW: Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust significantly expanded its land portfolio, now acquiring ownership of approximately 100 acres.
The Trust initially received 70 acres within the Ram Janmabhoomi complex following the Supreme Court ruling, and in the subsequent two years, it has actively acquired an additional 30 acres of land surrounding and beyond the temple premises.
Anticipating a substantial surge in devotees following the inauguration of the Ram temple, the Trust has continued its land acquisition efforts to meet future requirements. In the latest development, the Trust has secured an additional 116 Biswa (approximately 6 acres) of land in Shahnewajpur Manjha for a sum of Rs 55 crore.
