Faizabad Railway Junction To Be Renamed As Ayodhya Cantt: UP CM Adityanath

Mumbai: Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath has taken the decision to rename Faizabad Railway Junction as Ayodhya Cantt, the CM’s office announced on Saturday.

Faizabad MP Lallu Singh had earlier written to the UP government to change the name of the Faizabad Railway Junction.

The development is part of a concerted effort by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to rename cities, stations and public places in the state after Hindu history.

The Chief Minister’s Office on Saturday informed that notification of the official changes will be issued soon after getting approval from the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government.

The announcement comes after Uttar Pradesh Police ordered the All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) to remove posters mentioning Ayodhya as Faizabad in the state.

Posters calling Ayodhya as Faizabad were put up across the district ahead of AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi’s visit to the region last week.

The posters drew severe ire of seers who raised objections to Ayodhya’s former name of ‘Faizabad’ being used in the banners.
