Rs 4 Crore Cheque for Ayodhya Ram Temple Bounces Due to Insufficient Funds
A Rs 4 crore cheque donated by a woman devotee from Chennai to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust for staff facilities at Ayodhya's Ram Temple bounced due to insufficient funds, with only Rs 3 in the account. The woman had also donated Rs 10,000 separately and sought written assurance on fund usage, which the Trust did not provide. The bank plans to seek an explanation. This incident occurs amid ongoing large-scale donations for the temple's construction and maintenance.
