Soon, the state government will also launch helicopter service that will boost tourism. Influx of pilgrims and tourists will increase business and employment opportunities.”
He also aid that after ‘pran pratishtha’, over one lakh pilgrims would visit Ayodhya everyday. Adding that to handle the pressure, roads have been widened, railway stations and bus depots have been expanded.
