Just 10 days left for the consecration of the Ram Manadir in Ayodhya, the Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath said that all the educational institutions across the State would remain closed on January 22. Besides, all liquor outlets in UP would be closed on that day. He said that his government has taken these decisions in deference to the people’s emotions over the temple consecration, adding that the day would be marked with celebration. Meanwhile, the flight service at the Ayodhya airport started with the aircraft carrying the UP CM being the first to land there. Presently, Ayodhya is connected by air with eight cities, including Lucknow, Delhi, Kolkata, Ahmadabad and Chenanai. On reaching Ayodhya, he visited the Ram Lala temple and Hanuman Garhi and offered puja. Meanwhile, pictures of the just-completed first floor glod-plated gate of the Ram Mandir have come up for public view for the first time. Further, the work of gold plating the marble throne of Ram Lala will be completed by January 15, sources said, adding that the temple’s dome would be gold-plated too, but the work would start after the temple’s consecration.
