Ravidas Temple to be rebuilt
The Supreme Court on Monday accepted the Centre's proposal to hand over Sant Ravidas temple site to a committee of devotees to re-build the shrine at the same place where it was demolished in August in South. A petition filed in the Supreme Court by Congress leader Rajesh Lilothia asked for a direction to allow construction of a Guru Ravidas temple in the Tughlaqabad forest area in Delhi. The temple was demolished by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) following the court's direction as it was built on encroached forest land. DDA's decision was met with protests by devotees and others who disagreed with the move.
