Members of the Indo-Islamic Culture Foundation (IICF) — the committee formed by the Sunni Central Waqf Board to manage the construction of the mosque in Ayodhya — are planning to request the Uttar Pradesh Government for a full waiver of the development charges they have to submit to the Ayodhya Development Authority (ADA) in order to secure approval for the mosque’s map.
The IICF has to reportedly submit approximately ₹10-12 crore as labour cess and development tax to secure final approval for the map, while the total funding the foundation has received for the mosque so far via crowdfunding is around ₹50 lakh.
An official of the IICF told The Hindu that fund-raising for the mosque had been stopped as continuous hurdles were being posed in the way of its construction.
