Sunni Waqf Board wants alternative land for the mosque- sources
The arbitration panel appointed by the Supreme Court on Wednesday submitted the settlement report. It said that the Muslim and Hindu sides are ready for a settlement on the disputed land.

The board has spoken of withdrawing its claim in the Ayodhya dispute. The board has agreed on the condition of giving alternate land in place of the disputed land to another location.
