00:00 May I have your attention please?
00:06 Hello there, now this, the whole locality might appear to be as one of the poshest shopping
00:12 malls but you would be surprised if I tell you this is a railway station.
00:18 Railway station for none other than Ayodhya.
00:21 The Ram temple is coming up and this state of the art railway station lit up with the
00:27 natural sunlight is almost ready to be inaugurated on 30th of December by none other than Prime
00:35 Minister Narendra Modi.
00:37 The work is under process, under progress and several stations, almost 12 to 15 gates
00:44 are here which would take the visitors, the travellers to the railway platform.
00:51 Waiting rooms, dormitories both for male and female, exclusive facilities for dining, talking
00:58 about here is the list, food plaza, waiting halls, toilets, drinking water, staircase,
01:06 escalators, lift and then there is tourist information centre, passenger facilities,
01:12 infant care, sick room.
01:13 This is the new face of India I would say.
01:17 The new India that we often talk about, something that is ingrained in this generation to demand
01:23 the best and to get the best.
01:24 The government is providing that.
01:26 Not far away, just 5 minutes distance from here, walking to, 5 to 7 minutes you would
01:32 reach the grand entrance, the singh dwar of the newly constructed Ram temple.
01:40 30th of December would be edged into the history books in the redevelopment of Ayodhya, a place
01:47 which needs no introduction now with international renown.
01:52 The place is all set to bring in lots and lots of devotees, not just from every nook
01:58 and cranny of the country but also internationally.
02:01 Airport would also be ready on 30th of December.
02:07 First flight would be landing from Delhi, that's the airport.
02:09 Prime Minister Modi would be coming to Ayodhya to inaugurate that airport and simultaneously
02:16 would be inaugurating the railway station in the centre of which we are standing as
02:22 of now.
02:25 So, this is a whole list of the facilities that you would be availing at the newly constructed
02:35 upcoming railway station, Ayodhya junction.
02:38 That's the place where all the roads are leading and all the people of the country
02:44 and international devotees too are leading.
02:47 You saw the list for yourself.
02:49 There are three levels to it.
02:52 We have the ground floor which will have food plaza, waiting halls, toilets, drinking water
02:59 staircase, escalators, lift and what not.
03:02 The medium, the first floor, the mezzanine floor would have the first floor, dormitory,
03:10 AC retiring rooms, lodge for relieving staff and station master.
03:16 On the first floor you will have food plaza, waiting halls, drinking water, staircase,
03:22 escalators, lifts and all important, dhokane, shops.
03:26 You can come here, it's like a one stop shop for all your needs and no doubt entry to foot
03:34 over bridge 2 and entry to foot over bridge 3 connects the old railway station of Ayodhya
03:39 and the new railway station.
03:41 This is how it looks like, almost an airport like entry if you take a look at the pillars
03:46 here.
03:50 Officials from the central government, the state government of Uttar Pradesh all are
03:55 making a beeline here, they are here everyday, there is a deadline to match also and needless
04:00 to say the effort that is going on is something which tells you the exact story how it would
04:08 look like when it is ready in its full glory and when people start coming here, arriving
04:13 to take a look at the newly constructed Ram temple.
04:22 This is the track where the trains would start coming in very soon and bringing the devotees
04:29 from far and wide to pray and to offer their prayers to Ram Janmabhoomi temple, something
04:35 which is not just being looked forward by the Indians but also from devotees from across
04:41 the globe.
04:42 This is the railway station for Ayodhya junction.
04:47 Redeveloped new ones, the design, the motifs are all inspired by the Ram Janmabhoomi temple,
04:58 241 crores and counting is the cost that has been invested in the construction of this
05:05 iconic state of the art railway station which is capable of handling 50,000 passengers daily.
05:13 That would be the volume of the footfall at this station and also the old railway station,
05:21 Ayodhya junction is also being redeveloped, new platforms are being put, new tracks are
05:26 being laid, you see men and machine all at work, heavy machinery being brought in from
05:30 across the country and being put in so that the ease of the visitors, the travellers is
05:38 never compromised at all and also this is a historic moment as far as this temple railway
05:46 station is concerned because as far as the connectivity is concerned, mentioned earlier
05:52 both the airport, Mariyadapur Shatnam Shriram International Airport and Ayodhya junction
05:58 railway station is being redeveloped so that it can bring passengers and also a lot of
06:04 tourism to this state of Uttar Pradesh to Ayodhya specifically and the holy city, a
06:12 lot to offer when it comes to visit to Ayodhya, that's not just the Ram temple, not just the
06:17 Hanuman Garib, lots and lots of temples, colour, Saryughar, the Aarti's, the warmth of the
06:24 people, the food, the gift items that you can take away from here, it's something that
06:28 would be a traveller's paradise come 22nd of January when Prime Minister Modi would
06:37 inaugurate it.
06:37 Thank you.
06:38 Thank you.
06:38 Thank you.
06:39 Thank you.
