AFTER NEARLY EIGHT years, the circle rate of land in Ayodhya, where a Ram Temple was inaugurated last year, has been increased up to 200%, depending on the use of land and location. While the order is effective from Saturday, a holiday, the land registry, as per the new circle rates, will begin from Monday.

"We have approved the proposal for a hike in circle rate after considering the objections we had received on our proposal circulated in August last year," District Magistrate (Ayodhya) Nikhil Funde said. Funde said: "The demand from the public was mostly to raise it more than our proposals in several areas. But the decision has been taken based on market rates and a survey conducted by us."
