Gorakhpur, January 12: Lalmani Tiwari, the manager of Gorakhpur-based Gita Press on Friday informed that there is a shortage in supply of the holy epic 'Ramcharitmanas' due to a rise in demand ahead of the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha Ceremony. Lalmani Tiwari said that due to Gita Press having limited space and infrastructure, it is getting difficult for them to match the supply against the demand.
"Since the day the dates were announced for the Pran Pratishta ceremony, the demand has increased for our books. All our branches are communicating the same things to us. People are getting excited about reading Ramcharitmanas, Hanuman Chalisa and Sunder Kaand. There is limited space and infrastructure here so that is a reason we would not be able to match the demand. Suddenly, the demand has increased recently," Lalmani Tiwari told ANI.
