Construction of Ram Mandir begins, Iron wouldn't be used
The most awaited construction of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir has begun. Engineers are now testing the soil at the mandir site.
While Larsen & Toubro is broadly looking after the construction of temple, IIT-Chennai has been consulted for testing soil strength and CBRI services are being used to make sure the building is earthquake-resistant.
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust has now requested all Hindus across India to donate copper wires and copper rods for the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The trust said that the Muslims can also contribute the rods if they wish to.
Champat Rai, general secretary of the trust, said that, “The stone that will be used in the construction will be such that air, sun and water decay will not happen for at least 1,000 years. The construction company L&T has got the best people; IIT Chennai has been consulted for testing the strength of the soil; and the Central Building Research Institute will make sure the building is earthquake-resistant,"
The temple will be constructed using only stone, and no iron at all. And plain concreting will be done. Drawings are still being finalized and so are the carvings.
He also added, “We will need copper strips and rods for the construction. To begin with, we will need 10,000 strips and rods. The strip should be 18 inches long, 3 mm thick and 30 mm wide. This would be a clear proof of India’s contribution to the temple construction,”
