VIPs should avoid Ayodhya visit on consecration day: Rai

Ayodhya, Oct 12: Champat Rai, secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, has said that dignitaries, on whose visits certain protocols have to be followed, should avoid coming to Ayodhya to attend the consecration ceremony of Lord Ram on January 22 next year.

“Chief Ministers and governors of states and ambassadors of various countries should not visit Ayodhya on consecration ceremony day to ensure that they do not face any inconvenience. We will not be able to serve them and the same could be the case with the administrative officials,” Rai said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will attend the ceremony.

“People will visit Ayodhya from January 26 to February 22. That time would also be suitable for the dignitaries to visit the temple town,” he said.
