Tripura chief minister Manik Saha conveyed thanks to prime minister Narendra Modi on February 27 for arranging special trains for the people of Tripura traveling to Ayodhya after flagging off the special train.
The third Aastha special train has started from Agartala railway station with over a thousand pilgrims to have darshan of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, who were joined by another thousand from three destinations in Tripura.
“Three trains have departed for Ayodhya from Tripura so far. I will pray to Lord Ram for their safe and happy journey. The prime minister inaugurated the Ram Mandir last month, a moment awaited for 500 years,” Saha said.
The consecration of the temple witnessed the participation of a few lakhs, including a large number of foreigners, Saha said, adding: “Our council of ministers will also visit the Ram temple in the first week of March.”
