Close on the heels of renaming Allahabad as Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on November 6 announced that Faizabad district will henceforth be known as Ayodhya.
“Ayodhya is a symbol of our aan, baan aur shaan (honour, pride and prestige),” he said in the pilgrim town. “Nobody can do injustice to Ayodhya,” he said, adding that the holy city is identified with Lord Ram.
Mr. Adityanath was speaking on the occasion of Deepotsav on Diwali eve.
He also announced setting up of a medical college in the name of King Dashrath, father of Lord Ram, in the district.
