Chairman of Ram temple construction committee Nripendra Misra on Wednesday discussed development projects of the temple town with Ayodhya administration officials.
In the meeting, district magistrate of Ayodhya Anuj Jha, vice chairman of Ayodhya Development Authority Vishal Singh and other officials were present.
Misra is on a two-day visit to Ayodhya to review preparations for laying foundation of Ram temple and development projects of the temple town.
The Yogi Adityanath government and the Centre have approved a large number of projects to ensure overall development of Ayodhya.
Along with construction of Ram temple, the Uttar Pradesh government will also roll out these projects to propel Ayodhya towards the list of international religious tourism destinations.
Among the proposed projects is a new township that the Yogi Adityanath government has approved to decongest Ayodhya. This township will come up on 600 acres of land at Shahnawazpur on the Lucknow -Gorakhpur highway. Uttar Pradesh Awas Vikas Parishad (UP Housing Board), a state government body, will implement the project.
Misra enquired about this project and progress made in acquiring land for the new township.
The Ayodhya divisional commissioner has been made nodal officer of development projects in Ayodhya.
Misra had convened a meeting with members of the Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra Trust on Tuesday to review the plan for laying temple foundation.
He is expected to leave for New Delhi on Thursday.
