Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai expressed pride in the pilgrimage, stating, “This is a momentous occasion as the people of Chhattisgarh get on on a journey to seek the blessings of Shri Ramlalla. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi promised the commencement of the Shri Ramlalla Darshan Yojana after our government’s formation, and today marks the fulfillment of that pledge as the first train departs from Chhattisgarh to Ayodhya. In the future, trains will also operate from Bilaspur and Raigarh to Ayodhya under this scheme, offering devotees a weekly opportunity to visit Ayodhya Dham. In addition to Ayodhya, tours to other religious sites will also be organized. Chhattisgarh is the first state in the country to facilitate the Darshan of Shri Ramlalla at government expense. In March, the entire cabinet will visit Ayodhya for Ramlalla’s Darshan.”
