New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that there will be 15 trustees in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.

Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the constitution of ‘Shri Ram Janambhoomi Tirath Kshetra’, which would oversee the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, nearly three months after the Supreme Court ruling in the decades-old case.
