The Uttar Pradesh government has identified possible plots for a mosque in Ayodhya, in compliance with the recent Supreme Court order greenlighting the construction of a temple at the former site of the Babri Masjid.

The state government has identified five plots in Mirzapur, Shamshuddinpur and Chandpur, all outside the "panchkosi parikrama", a 15-km periphery enclosing an area considered sacred.

The government will offer these plots to the Sunni Waqf Board once a a board of trustees is formed to deal with temple construction and other issues -- as mandated by the Supreme Court order.
