Ayodhya Mosque Project Faces Delays
A long time ago, there was a big argument about a piece of land in Ayodhya, India.
The Supreme Court decided that a temple for Lord Ram should be built on part of the land, and a mosque should be built on another part.
The mosque is supposed to be built in a place called Dhannipur, but it's taking a long time to start.
The people in charge of building the mosque say they hope to start in April 2026.
They need more money and permission to get donations from other countries.
They also had to change the design of the mosque because some people didn't like the original one.
It's a big project, and they're still working out the details.
The mosque project in Dhannipur, Ayodhya, may start in April 2026, pending approvals.
The Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF) is facing delays due to design changes and funding issues.
The original mosque layout was rejected, and a more traditional design is now being finalized.
The project may be carried out in phases at different locations due to land constraints.
The IICF needs significant funds, with an estimated cost of Rs 65 crore and currently only Rs 3 crore available.
