BJP leader Lallu Singh declared on Wednesday that the Ayodhya Railway station's name has been changed to "Ayodhya Dham" Junction.

"Under the guidance of the honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the name of Ayodhya Junction of the newly constructed grand Ayodhya Railway Station has been changed to Ayodhya Dham as per the expectation of public sentiments," Lallu Singh said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The newly built Ayodhya railway station and airport will be officially inaugurated by the Prime Minister on December 30.

After more than 700 years of contentious history, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will install the Ram idol in the Ayodhya temple on January 22, 2024.

Phases of the 71-acre Ram Temple in Ayodhya are currently under construction. Ram Lalla's temple, which will be dedicated, has its ground floor covered in the project's first phase. Building the sanctum sanctorum and several mandap will be necessary for this.
