The Ayodhya Development Authority (ADA) has given the final clearance for the construction of Dhannipur mosque in the city as mandated by the Supreme Court in the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi verdict.

A mosque, a hospital, a research institute, a community kitchen and a library are to be constructed by the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF) trust on five acres of land given by the Uttar Pradesh government.

The construction was delayed for over two years due to the pending clearance and matters of change of land use by the ADA.

"We have approved the project of Ayodhya mosque in the board meeting held on Friday. The sanctioned maps will be handed over to the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF) after a few departmental formalities which are to be completed within a couple of days," Gaurav Dayal, Ayodhya Divisional Commissioner, told PTI.
