Recently, the Hindu Personal Law Board (HPLB) has filed PIL in the Supreme Court, seeking the construction of a wall at the Ram Setu site. Ashok Pandey, the chairman of the Hindu Personal Law Board, has submitted a petition to the Supreme Court, asserting that a visit to Ram Setu holds the potential to grant "moksha" or divine liberation to millions of individuals.

In the PIL, the request has been made for the construction of a protective wall near the Ram Setu, located at the Dhanushkodi sea in Rameshwaram, which marks the southernmost tip of the Indian peninsula.

"Darshan of Ram Setu guarantees moksha," the plea stated.

The PIL underscores that the Hindu Personal Law Board, the entity responsible for the petition, is dedicated to safeguarding the legal and religious rights of Hindus. Furthermore, it emphasizes the potential transformation of the natural formation known as "Shri Ram Setu" into a sacred pilgrimage site for devotees to seek "darshan" or divine blessings.

Further, the plea said that according to religious scriptures, the structure atop the water holds significance as it is believed that salvation is attained through the darshan (view) of this Setu.

The Board has also said that the Centre has not taken the required steps to manage Sri Ram Setu.

"The Government of Bharat claims to be working on the agenda to bring Ram Raj, which is not possible unless the Darshan of Sri Ram Setu is managed by erecting a wall. Erecting of some walls is possible as only 4 to 40 feet of water exists on the Setu," the plea said.

"If this Setu is open (to darshan), it will give way for people across the world to come to Dhanushkodi for the darshan of the bridge constructed on the orders of Lord Ram.

"The common man will be able to walk on this bridge for a few meters. It will fulfil the desire of crores of people like the petitioner to walk, sit and sleep on the bridge along which Ram along with his army went to Lanka to kill Rawan and to establish Ram Raj in Lanka," the plea stated.

The petition has also called for declaring Ram Setu as a national monument.
