These electric buses will begin operating on the Ram and Dharma Paths from January 15, as reported by the ANI.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Adityanath shared, "Today, before the consecration ceremony of the new idol of Lord Shri Ramlala in Shri Ayodhya Dham, e-buses and e-autos were flagged off for easy movement of devotees and common people. On this occasion, the digital tourist mobile app 'Divya-Ayodhya' and the official website of Ayodhya Police were also launched." He added, "As per the vision of respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, we are determined to give a new identity to Shri Ayodhya ji at the global level. Hearty congratulations to all of you!"
