Mumbai: The Uttar Pradesh government has sanctioned a 2-acre plot in Ayodhya to construct Maharashtra Sadan, state public works department minister Ravindra Chavan said on Sunday.
The Maharashtra government had made such a request so that devotees going to the Ram Temple from here could be provided state run accommodation, Mr Chavan told reporters.
The state government had taken a decision in March this year to set up Maharashtra Sadan in Ayodhya and had earmarked Rs 67.11 crore for it.
