Chandigarh, January 4

Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Tuesday said the state government was ready to bear the entire expenditure to be incurred on land allotment by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for construction of Guru Ravidas Temple at Tughlakabad in New Delhi.

Notably, Guru Ravidas Temple and Samadhi, located in Tughlakabad village, Delhi, were demolished in August, 2019. Devotees say Guru Ravidas visited the place in 1509 during the reign of Mughal Emperor Sikander Lodhi. The CM said the DDA had recently asked the mandir panel to deposit Rs 4.33 crore and the delegation had approached him for seeking requisite contribution from the state government. — TNS
