Srinagar: A tree plantation drive, climate change awareness programs and a green area that will have plants from all over the world from Amazon rainforest to areas having bushfires in Australia and from all different geographical regions of India are part of the plan of the upcoming mosque at Ayodhya.
The green area is envisioned to be a world class botanical park, a green designer part of the design team of the park told Ziraat Times.
“The tree plantation drive has been planned because the project intends to serve the community in the area and create awareness about climate change as a major challenge to humanity, the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF), that body that is building the mosque, said in a press release.
“As envisaged in the project, a green area will be developed to have plants from all over the world from Amazon rainforest to areas having bushfires in Australia and from all different geographical regions of India to create awareness for imminent threat of climate change,” IICF said.
Some of these activities are part of the formal beginning of the project to construct a mosque at Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya set to be built following the landmark Supreme Court verdict that facilitated the construction of a temple at the Ram Janmabhoomi site and a mosque in the same district, officials announced on Saturday.
The Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF) trust, which will build the mosque on a five-acre plot away 25 km away from the spot where the temple will be built, said it was planning a ceremony to mark the beginning of the project on January 26 at 8:30 am, which will begin by raising of the national flag.
