AYODHYA: The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which oversees the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, received a bomb threat via email on Monday night, prompting heightened security measures and a police investigation.
The threat mail, written in English, urged authorities to strengthen the temple’s security. According to police sources cited by PTI, the email was traced to an individual in Tamil Nadu. Similar emails were reportedly received in other districts, including Barabanki and Chandauli.
In response, the Ram Temple trust filed a First Information Report (FIR) in Ayodhya, and the cyber cell has launched a probe into the matter.
Meanwhile, a four-kilometre-long security wall is being constructed around the temple complex. Nripendra Misra, Chairperson of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Construction Committee, said on Monday that the wall is expected to be completed within 18 months.
“Engineers India Limited will undertake the construction. The final specifications regarding its height, thickness, and design have been decided, and work will commence following soil testing,” Misra stated. He also noted that the overall construction of the Ram Temple is likely to be completed within the next six months.
The Ram Temple was inaugurated on January 22 last year, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in the pran pratishtha (consecration) ceremony of the Ram Lalla idol. The temple was opened to the public the same day. (With inputs from PTI)
