Ram Finally Gets His Vimanas: Airport In Ayodhya To Be Named After Him, Medical College After Father Dashrath

After Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath renamed Faizabad district as Ayodhya, he declared that Ayodhya will have its airport named after Lord Ram and a medical college named after his father King Dashrath, ANI has reported.

Speaking at the Deepotsav celebrations in Ayodhya which was also attended by South Korean First Lady Kim Jung-Sook, Yogi said "Ayodhya is a symbol of our aan, baan aur shaan (honour, pride and prestige). Nobody can do injustice to Ayodhya,".

Interestingly, people in the crowd raised slogans of “Yogiji ek kaam karo, Mandir ka nirman karo (Yogi, do one job: build the temple)” while Yogi made the announcements.

Apart from the airport and the hospital , several projects, including the redevelopment of Ram-ki-Paidi and sewage control in the Sarayu river, were launched at the event.

The Chief Minister along with the South Korean First Lady also laid the foundation stone for a memorial to Queen Heo Hwang-Ok. The queen, according to a Korean legend, was an Ayodhya princess who married King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya. The monument will be built over an area of 10,000 square metres.
