LUCKNOW/NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Ayodhya on December 30, three weeks before the idol of Ram Lalla is placed in the new Ayodhya temple. This visit is significant as it precedes the inauguration of several developmental projects worth over Rs 15,000 crore, including an international airport.
The centrepiece of Modi’s visit is the inauguration of the ‘Maharishi Valmiki International Airport Ayodhya Dham’, marking it as the fifth international airport in Uttar Pradesh. Another highlight is the opening of the Ayodhya Dham Junction railway station, constructed with over Rs 240 crore. This modern three-storey station is equipped with advanced facilities like elevators, escalators, food plazas, and child care rooms, reflecting the government’s commitment to accessible and green-certified infrastructure.
