The state Cabinet on Tuesday gave its nod to broaden and redevelop the approach road to Ram Temple in Ayodhya on lines of the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor of Varanasi.
The Cabinet’s decision comes two days after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Ayodhya and inspected the ongoing construction work of Ram Temple.
The Cabinet sanctioned Rs 797 crore for the project that will include the expansion and beautification of 12.9 km-long stretch from the Main Road at Sadatganj to Nayaghat.
Since there are buildings and shops along the way, the government has set aside nearly 50 per cent of the sanctioned amount (Rs 378 crore) for the acquisition of land or building falling under the expansion plan.
