LUCKNOW: Pushing for integrated development of Ayodhya, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said that the city is known the world over as the birth place of Lord Ram and its ancient culture should be kept intact while developing it. Its buildings, he said, should reflect both Indian culture and heritage.
During a review meeting to discuss ongoing works in the city, the CM directed officials to involve the private sector for development of projects while also going through PPP and CSR modes.
He said that a sharp increase in tourist footfall to Ayodhya was expected in the coming days and keeping that in mind, good hotels should be built in the city.
“Identify land in the city for guest houses, dharamshalas and rest houses. Ayodhya should be developed in such a way that tourists visiting the city should get to experience its religious and historical aspects. Ghats should be beautified but preserved. Riverfront should provide a new tourist spot,” he said.
“Ayodhya should be developed as a clean and green solar city. Infrastructure like roads should be constructed keeping in mind the future requirements. Railway and bus stations should have adequate parking spaces,” he added.
“Matters of land acquisition should be disposed of at the earliest and any concerns should be resolved through dialogue. The panch kosi, chaudah kosi and chaurasi kosi parikrama routes should be developed with proper amenities for devotees,” he said.
