New Delhi:
The Adityanath government has proposed to build 100 metres Lord Ram’s statue on the banks of the Saryu River in Ayodhya. The state tourism department has already made a presentation to governor Ram Naik in this regard.
The construction will start once it gets the approval of National Green Tribunal (NGT).
