Only those with valid invites from Ram temple trust or on government duty would be allowed to enter Ayodhya on January 22, the day of consecration ceremony at the newly constructed Ram temple. During a review meeting in Ayodhya on Thursday, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath instructed Ayodhya officials to ask local hotel owners to cancel — as far as possible — advance bookings by other people and give preference to those invited by the trust.
Ayodhya DM Nitish Kumar told, “We are investigating bookings done by the hotels and examining the customers who have reserved rooms. In cases of discrepancy, we will take necessary action.”
