PM Modi Takes Detour In Ayodhya Tour, Visits Ujjwala Yojana Beneficiery

Prime Minister Narendra Modi surprised a woman who is the tenth-crore beneficiary of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya. This happened during his Ayodhya visit.

The PM was offered tea at the home of the beneficiary of the flagship scheme that provides clean cooking fuel such as LPG cylinders to rural and deprived households, which had been using firewood, coal, and cow-dung cakes. Using these traditional cooking fuels had detrimental impacts on the health of rural women as well as on the environment.

The Prime Minister also gave his autograph on a painting that a boy showed him. He also inaugurated the Maharshi Valmiki International Airport Ayodhya Dham. After the railway station inauguration, PM took a tour of the facility. UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, and others accompanied the PM.

Phase-I of the redeveloped station, Ayodhya Dham Junction Railway Station, has been completed at a cost of more than ₹ 240 crore, according to officials.
