Devotees from across India have been visiting the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya, braving the cold weather to seek blessings and have 'darshan' smoothly. The authorities, including ADG Lucknow Zone Piyush Mordia and IG Range Ayodhya Praveen Kumar, have ensured that despite the large numbers, all devotees can have 'darshan' with adequate security measures in place. To facilitate the influx of pilgrims, Divisional Railway Manager SM Sharma announced that more than 20 'Aastha Special Trains' are operational through Ayodhya station. The Divisional Commissioner Gaurav Dayal noted that proper barricading and alertness are being maintained, especially because the visits coincided with Republic Day. Meanwhile, the political presence, particularly of the BJP, was prominent during the temple opening. Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami mentioned rescheduling his visit to Ayodhya due to the heavy flow of devotees, indicating the high volume of visitors, particularly during the weekend.
