The Ram Mandir trust in Ayodhya has decided to put its plan to begin the construction of the temple on hold in light of the Indo-China border standoff at Galwan Valley in Ladakh in which 20 Indian soldiers were martyred.
In an official statement, the trust referred to the June 15 incident at the border as serious and said that defending the country was the “most important” thing to do. The trust said a new date will be announced soon.
“The decision to begin construction (of temple) will be taken according to the situation in the country and will be announced officially,” Anil Mishra, member of the trust told PTI.
