Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath chaired the weekly state cabinet meeting in Ayodhya, marking a historic moment for the city. The meeting saw the introduction of a proposal to establish a state-level Inland Waterways Authority in Uttar Pradesh, underlining the government's commitment to regional development.

November 9 resonated with historical significance as the anniversary of the 2019 Supreme Court verdict in the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi case, a pivotal event that paved the way for the construction of the Ram Temple. CM Adityanath declared, "A new chapter has been added to Uttar Pradesh's history," emphasizing the Cabinet's significant decisions during the session.

Held in the grandly adorned Ram Katha Museum, featuring images of Lord Shri Ram and Lord Hanuman, the meeting commenced after CM Adityanath and his cabinet colleagues offered prayers at Hanuman Garhi temple.

Fourteen proposals were on the agenda, with the establishment of a state-level Inland Waterways Authority taking precedence. Cabinet Minister Nand Gopal Nandi expressed the historical significance, stating that the day would be inscribed in golden letters in the history of the country and the state.

Cabinet Minister Jaiveer Singh extended congratulations to CM Yogi Adityanath, anticipating a groundbreaking agenda dedicated to Ayodhya's development. The meeting witnessed ministers on election duty in other states ensuring their presence, hinting at major announcements post the session.

Excitingly, the construction of the ground floor of the three-storey Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is set for completion by December-end, with the consecration ceremony scheduled for January 22, 2024, as revealed by Temple Construction Committee Chairperson Nripendra Mishra.
