Ram Mandir Consecration Ceremony: 3 Special Trains Allocated To Bring Devotees From Tripura To Ayodhya

Indian Railways have allotted three special trains to Tripura to bring people to Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, so they can pray in the Ram temple, said a BJP Yuva Morcha spokesman on Saturday.

Following a letter from Chief Minister Manik Saha to Railways Minister Ashwani Vaishnaw requesting for special trains from Agartala to Ayodhya, the northeastern state were allocated the three special trains.

What did BJP Yuva Morcha spokesman say?

“The Railways has allocated three special trains for Ram Bhakts of the state to visit Ayodhya and offer prayers to Lord Ram. The three trains will leave the state for Ayodhya on January 31, February 21 and 27”, BJP Tripura Yuva Morcha general secretary Rana Ghosh told PTI.

He added that 1,640 state passengers would board each train headed toward Ayodhya, with party leaders and supporters receiving preference.

“Apart from party leaders, Ram Bhakts will also get a chance to board Ayodhya bound train to offer prayer to Lord Ram. Around 5,000 pilgrims will be able to offer prayer at Ram temple till February 27”, he said.

According to an official, it seems unlikely that prominent figures, including BJP state president Rajib Bhattacharjee and Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, will attend the January 22 Ram temple dedication ceremony in Ayodhya.

“The chief minister is not going to Ayodhya to witness the historic  – the consecration ceremony of Ram temple. He will visit later on”, said an official of the Chief Minister’s Office.

“No party leader including the BJP state president is going to attend the consecration ceremony of Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22. We all will witness the programme on digital platforms in different locations”, said BJP media in-charge, Sunit Sarkar.

To commemorate the occasion, the centre has announced that all government offices and educational institutions will have a half-day on January 22.
