Summary:
New Delhi: Over two months after the Guru Ravidas temple in Delhi's Tughlaqabad forest area was demolished by the DDA following the apex court order, the Supreme Court Monday accepted the Centre's revised offer of 400 square metre land at the site for re-construction of the temple. "It is for the sentiments and faith of the devotees that we have revised it to 400 square metre," Venugopal told the bench. The top court directed the Centre to constitute within six weeks the committee for construction of the temple in the area earmarked. The Centre had told the apex court last Friday that it was willing to hand over 200 sq mt land to devotees for construction of Guru Ravidas temple in South Delhi but with certain conditions. The bench asked Venugopal as to what was the harm if some registered society would be handed over the land for construction of temple there..
