IndiGo’s First Flight Passengers Dress As Ram, Hanuman

In anticipation of the great consecration ceremony of the Ram temple later this month, passengers dressed as Lord Ram and Hanuman arrived at the Ahmedabad airport this morning to board IndiGo’s inaugural flight to Ayodhya. Last month, a new airport was inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi.

The first flight connecting Gujarat with the historical city left Ahmedabad this morning, ahead of which four of its passengers arrived dressed as Lord Ram, Lakshman, Sita, and Hanuman. IndiGo started flights to Ayodhya from Delhi on January 6, when the new airport became operational.

Last week, a senior airline official stated that direct flights from Mumbai are also expected to begin in the coming weeks. PM Modi, who inaugurated the Maharishi Valmiki International Airport on December 30, asserted that his government is determined to connect the holy city with the whole world.

The Home Ministry has sanctioned a team of more than 150 central security personnel to provide security to ‘Maharishi Valmiki International Airport.’
