During his first visit to Ayodhya this year on Tuesday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed officials to implement the Kumbh model of cleanliness in Ayodhya and ensure that the ‘Ramnagari’ appears the cleanest and the most beautiful among cities.
“Dust should not be visible on the roads, and toilets must be cleaned daily,” the chief minister said. He conducted a thorough inspection of the ongoing development projects and expressed concern for the well-being of saints and sages.
His visit also included a trip to Kuber Tila, where he paid homage to Jatayu.
In relation to the ongoing development projects, the chief minister gave clear instructions to the officials concerned that it was imperative for them to execute the tasks maintaining high quality and within the specified timeframe in view of the fact that following January 22, a significant surge in the number of devotees and tourists is expected. The chief minister made it clear that no negligence would be tolerated under any circumstances.
During the tour of the Tent City developed by the Ramjanmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, general secretary Champat Rai provided Yogi with insights into the arrangements at Teerth Kshetra Puram. The chief minister visited various areas, including Mahant Avedyanath Ji Nagar, Omkar Bhave Nagar, and Vamdev Ji Maharaj Nagar, examining the preparations and emphasising the utmost priority on cleanliness. He expressed the need for a cleanliness system akin to the one implemented during the Kumbh festival.
The chief minister also inspected the Tent City, which is currently being constructed by the municipal corporation.
With a focus on accommodating visitors in Ayodhya after January 22, the chief minister issued directives for a hassle-free experience, particularly during the rainy season.
He emphasised on the need for slightly raising the door frames. In addition, he stressed on the importance of maintaining cleanliness in toilets.
After darshan at Sankatmochan Hanuman Garhi and Ram Lalla temples, Yogi visited Kuber Tila, where he paid obeisance to Jatayu.
Subsequently, the chief minister inspected the Municipal Corporation Water Works building in Beniganj Amaniganj and took stock of the ongoing development works.
Yogi also reviewed arrangements at the Panchvati Ashram. He said high standards of cleanliness should be maintained, ensuring provision for hot water. He emphasised on the importance of clean pits and blankets.
The chief minister underscored the significance of respectful behaviour by the staff deployed towards the residents, urging them to work with a spirit of service.
The chief minister also visited Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, president of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, at Maniram Das Cantonment to inquire about his well-being. During the meeting, discussions were held regarding the consecration of the Ram temple. The chief minister also paid a visit to Digambar Akhara.
