Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini initiated a special train journey for pilgrims from Ambala to Ayodhya. He also disclosed plans for another special train departing in April to Sri Hazur Sahib Gurdwara in Nanded, Maharashtra.
During the event, the Chief Minister expressed the significance of the occasion, calling it a historic and emotional moment for Haryana. He emphasized the pride in connecting the sacred land of Lord Krishna to the birthplace of Lord Ram in Ayodhya Dham.
CM Saini congratulated the pilgrims, highlighting the national pride in the newly constructed temple of Lord Ram in Ayodhya. He mentioned that the pilgrimage to Ayodhya represents not only a physical journey but also a spiritual transformation, invoking the energy that once positioned India as a Vishwa Guru.
The state government collaborated with the Railways for pilgrimage travel, ensuring the comfort and security of approximately 700 elderly pilgrims from seven districts on the inaugural train. The Chief Minister assured that financial constraints would not hinder elderly or economically weaker devotees from embarking on pilgrimages, citing the ‘Mukhyamantri Tirth Yatra Yojana’ as a testament to this commitment.
