SC asks government to clear stand on Ram Setu within six weeks

The Supreme Court has given six weeks' time to the Central government to clear their stand on Ram Setu.

The central government will have to file an affidavit within six weeksto clarify if they want to remove Ram Setu or protect it.

Ram Setu is a continuous stretch of limestone shoals between Rameshwaram Island, southeastern coast of Tamil Nadu and Northwestern coast of Sri Lanka.

Hindus believe that Ram Setu is the same stretch of land that was constructed by Lord Rama and his army of apes to reach Lanka.
