Gold worth 50cr used in Ram temple: Nripendra Mishra
Ayodhya: A total of 45 kilograms of pure gold has been used in the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, according to Nripendra Mishra, the chairman of the Ram Temple Construction Committee.
He said the estimated value of the gold, excluding taxes, is around Rs 50 crore. Gold has been used extensively in the doors on the ground floor of the temple and the throne of Lord Ram.
He added that gold work is still ongoing in the Sheshavatar Temple. While the main structure of the Ram Temple has been completed, other parts of the temple complex, including the museum, auditorium, and guest house, are still under construction.
These are expected to be completed by December 2025.
Following the consecration of Ram Darbar, Mishra said arrangements are being made for controlled public access to the sacred space. For now, only a limited number of devotees will be allowed to visit the Ram Darbar, and entry will be regulated through passes, which will be issued free of cost. The consecration ceremony has drawn large crowds to the sanctum sanctorum of the temple.
In a statement, temple trust general secretary Champat Rai, on Friday advised the temple visitors to exercise patience for visits to the Ram Darbar. A Ram Temple Trust official clarified that the newly consecrated Ram Darbar is not yet open to the general public.

Karnataka forest department recovers 120 acres of encroached land
Bengaluru: In a major anti-encroachment operation, the forest department Monday reclaimed 120 acres of forest land, worth an estimated Rs 4,000 crore, from illegal occupants at Kadugodi plantation in Bengaluru East taluk. The drive was conducted under tight police security and sources told TOI it followed orders from forest minister Eshwar Khandre. The eviction took place on survey number 1 in Bidarahalli hobli, where encroachments included both agricultural use and illegal structures such as warehouses. "We obtained all necessary clearances and carried out the eviction from morning till evening. The reclaimed land is worth Rs 4,000 crore," a senior forest official from Bengaluru division said. To prevent future encroachments, the department has fenced the recovered land and begun planting native tree saplings. The plantation, originally spanning 711 acres and handed over by the Maharaja of Mysore in 1896, has seen significant reductions over time. Around 450 acres were acquired by the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB), a portion now mired in legal disputes involving private firms. "The remaining 250-plus acres were under forest department control, but had been encroached upon. This drive is part of a wider effort to reclaim green spaces around Bengaluru," the official said, adding that the operation will continue for two more days. Bengaluru Urban forest division has reclaimed 248 acres in the past two years. "We have zero tolerance towards encroachments. With Bengaluru's pollution worsening, we must secure more green spaces," Khandre said. The total value of forest land reclaimed since May 2023 is said to exceed Rs 8,000 crore.

OFDC faces flak over afforestation, blames funding gaps
Koraput: Odisha Forest Development Corporation (OFDC), Jeypore division, is facing criticism over its compensatory afforestation drive, with data revealing a glaring gap between trees felled for infrastructure projects and those replanted. Between 2015 and 2025, over 30,348 trees were felled for widening National Highways and PWD roads across the Jeypore and Malkangiri forest divisions. But OFDC planted only 33,585 saplings — well short of the mandated 60,696, which is double the number of trees cut. Major felling included 10,285 trees for PWD roads, 9,195 for the NH-326 stretch, and 10,701 under the Bharatmala project. Despite receiving over Rs 10.56 crore from govt departments for tree felling and transportation, replantation and post-plantation care mandated under compensatory afforestation norms appear grossly inadequate, sources alleged. OFDC divisional manager Soubhagya Anand acknowledged the shortfall, stating that many departments had failed to deposit the required funds for plantation. "We are continuously following up. Recently, the PWD Jeypore division deposited funds for 10,000 saplings, and plantation work will begin shortly," Anand said. He added that the divisional forest office (DFO) is responsible for inspecting compensatory plantations and that the issue has been formally communicated to the concerned DFO. Jeypore DFO Pratap Kumar Behara confirmed that departments are required to deposit funds both for felling and compensatory plantation. "Strict instructions are in place to ensure plantation funds are secured before any felling begins," Behara said. Environmentalists warn that the govt's inadequate response is undermining efforts to restore green cover lost to infrastructure development. "It is unfortunate that century-old trees are being felled for road expansion, but no adequate compensation is being made. This has a direct negative impact on the region's climate," said Bidyut Mohanty, a Koraput-based environmentalist.

WRD, Danish team to launch second phase of project to map groundwater and reverse seawater intrusion in Minjur
Minjur, a locality in the city's northern fringes that has long battled seawater intrusion into its groundwater aquifers, will soon be the focus of an intensive study aimed at assessing the extent of exploitation and exploring strategies for its reversal. With the findings of a pilot study on groundwater mapping in Minjur validated, the Water Resources Department would expand the study along with Danish team in the Minjur belt. The phase II of the project will map the groundwater aquifer and arrest seawater incursion in the locality through Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR). Officials of the WRD noted that the seawater has moved inland for about 15 km and the water quality has turned saline with a total dissolved solids level exceeding 10,000 ppm in several places. In a first step towards implementing the second phase of the project, the team from Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, WRD's State Ground and Surface Water Resources Data Centre and water resources experts discussed the aspects of MAR technology during a recent meeting. For many years now, Minjur residents rely on municipal and private water supply for all their needs as salinity ingress has affected coastal aquifer. 'Water drawn from wells in areas close to Kosasthalaiyar riverbank is yellow in colour. Groundwater is availabe at a depth of 40 feet but it has high iron content. Each family spends a minimum of Rs.2,000 on water every month,' said of Minjur. Noting that water quality has improved in sites along water bodies, residents wanted groundwater recharge projects to be executed on a large scale. Officials of the WRD said a network of 145 borewells would be sunk across 63 villages at various depths and distance to study the salinised acquifer. Every five km would have piezometers with various instruments like digital water level recorders and water quality sensors. The study would be carried out using s-Tem profiler, a geoscanner tool designed to acquire subsurface data and ideal for mapping groundwater aquifers. 'We are planning to concentrate more on the 15th km with three borewells sunk in each chosen site at various depths to assess the groundwater level and quality. This stretch would have 71 borewells sunk for the study,' said an official. Some of the villages to be covered include Amoor, Thachoor, Panjetty, Alamathi and old Gummidipoondi. The Rs.10 crore would help identify potential recharge zones to restore the freshwater balance by pushing salinity back towards the coast in five years. A combination of recharge structures, including recharge shafts, would be established through MAR and identify potential for extraction and recharge, said the official. The project would be scaled up to other over-exploited groundwater zones like Cuddalore and Thoothukudi. Visiting Faculty, Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering Group, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Madras, who was part of the discussion, said Minjur belt is covered by data collection network of various government agencies and the new initiative would help enhance the ongoing efforts. Several recharge structures like check dams have indicated potential for harnessing groundwater. Citing his study on seawater intrusion in a coastal aquifer, he said largescale measures like interlinking of Araniar and Kosasthalaiyar rivers with a canal to transfer floodwaters and reviving water bodies are essential. Various measures, including interlinking of rivers, would help decrease the extent of seawater incursion by three km in 2030.
