The government requests that social media and the media outlets not provide misleading information about the Ram Temple event.

 Regarding the Ram Temple event, the government has requested that social media and other outlets abstain from disseminating misleading and manipulative material. On January 22, a major ceremony will be held to launch the Ram Temple, featuring the pran-pratishtha of Lord Ram Lalla. The pre-consecration ceremonies started on January 16, one week before to D-Day. Prior to the event, a number of phoney social media links purporting to offer VIP tickets for Ram Temple Prasad are making the rounds.

"Some unverified, provocative and fake messages were being spread, especially on social media, which can disturb communal harmony and public order," the information and broadcasting ministry stated in its advice. "Further, as part of their due diligence obligations, social media platforms are advised to make reasonable efforts to not host, display or publish information of the nature mentioned above," the advice said.

A few days prior, fast VIP tickets for the pran-pratishtha event were promised in a heavily circulated WhatsApp message including a fictitious QR code. It has been emphasised by the Temple Trust that the pran-pratistha celebration is invitation-only, with invitations being given out by the Trust to the chosen attendees.
