New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the repairing of covers and providing other facilities at the makeshift Ram Lalla Temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya town. The apex court said the exercise should be undertaken by the District Collector of Faizabad under the supervision of two independent observers.


On Friday, the Supreme Court had asked the Central and Uttar Pradesh governments to make available whatever facilities that could be extended to pilgrims going to Ayodhya to offer prayers at the makeshift temple on the site where the Babri Masjid once stood. It was demolished during a rally on December 6, 1992 by right-wing activists, who claim the site is the birthplace of Lord Ram.


A bench of Justice Anil R Dave and Justice Kurian Joseph had asked both the governments to do whatever was necessary even as Uttar Pradesh government said that all the facilities were being made available to the pilgrims and none of them were aggrieved. "The prayer is for some facilities. If you can make these available, then do it. If possible to do something, do it," Justice Dave told the counsel representing the governments.
