Ayodhya: In a significant move aimed at enhancing accessibility and easing congestion for devotees flocking to witness the divine presence of Ram Lalla, the Yogi government has announced plans to construct a new pathway, named Sugriva Path, linking the revered Hanuman Garhi Temple to the sacred Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya.
The proposed Sugriva Path, spanning a length of 290 meters, will serve as a convenient thoroughfare, facilitating seamless entry for devotees into the sanctified precincts of the Ram temple.
The initiative comes in response to the burgeoning footfall of approximately two to two and a half lakh devotees flocking daily for the divine darshan of Ram Lalla, necessitating measures to alleviate traffic congestion and ensure a hassle-free pilgrimage experience.
The construction of Sugriva Path, estimated to cost Rs 11.81 crore, underscores the government’s unwavering commitment to enhancing infrastructure and facilitating smoother access for pilgrims. Out of this budget, Rs 5.1 crore has been earmarked for land acquisition, while the remaining funds will be allocated towards the development of the corridor, ensuring a width of approximately 17 meters, with five meters dedicated exclusively to pedestrian pathways.
The Public Works Department has been entrusted with the responsibility of executing the construction of Sugriva Path. Chief Engineer S.B. Singh affirmed that the initial phase will focus on expediting the land acquisition process, paving the way for the commencement of construction activities in due course.
As the wheels of progress set into motion, the Sugriva Path stands as a testament to the government’s steadfast commitment to fostering an environment conducive to spiritual reverence and seamless pilgrimage experiences for devotees.
