The Ayodhya Municipal Corporation team and the councillors are working tirelessly to complete the preparations on time. A cleanliness drive is taking place across the city, and we are all eager to welcome our President to Ayodhya."

Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held a review meeting at the CFC Auditorium in Ayodhya regarding the President's proposed visit. President Murmu will visit the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya on March 19, Ayodhya District Magistrate Nikhil Tikaram Funde said.

Speaking to reporters, District Magistrate Funde said that the preparations for the President's visit are underway.

He said, "The President is arriving in the district on March 19. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust is organising the event. The Commissioner, ADG, and DIG held a meeting with officials from all departments. Everyone has received instructions. Everyone is working accordingly, and the program scheduled for the 19th will be organised very well. The 19th is also the first day of the Hindu New Year."

He added that to ensure smooth darshan for devotees, the temple officials will not issue any VVIP passes.

"In view of this, we will ensure smooth darshan for the people here. We are making arrangements to ensure that all the devotees who come here can have darshan. The darshan of the temple will begin an hour earlier that day and will continue until late at night. To avoid any problems for ordinary devotees, no VVIP passes or any special passes will be issued. Darshan will continue uninterrupted. Darshan will be closed only for a few moments when the President and our dignitaries visit and perform puja. The rest of the rituals will continue," he said.

Respectfully, while the visit is significant, I hope the "cleanliness drive" is not just for show and leads to lasting civic improvements. Often after such VIP visits, the focus fades. Let's hope for sustained efforts.

As someone who visited Ayodhya recently, the city has a special energy. It's great that no special passes are being issued. This ensures equality for all devotees, which is the right spirit.

A proud moment indeed for Ayodhya! The President's visit adds to the city's spiritual and historical significance. Good planning to start darshan early and continue late. Logistics sound well managed.

It's impressive how the local administration and the trust are coordinating. Not issuing VVIP passes is a very good decision. Bhagwan Ram's darshan should be available to all without discrimination. 👏
