Saryu riverfront to be completed on Schedule, says DM
Lucknow/Ayodhya: To enhance the experience of tourists and pilgrims visiting Ayodhya, the administration is working tirelessly to complete the Saryu Riverfront Development Project on time.
Reviewing the project, which is being developed by the state tourism department, Ayodhya district magistrate Nikhil Tikaram Funde, on Friday, informed mediapersons that work is on track and will be completed as scheduled.
"Significant progress has already been made. Stonework on the ghats is complete, and foundation work for nine decorative umbrellas is underway. The riverfront will feature 24 interpretation walls, inscriptions, signage, and a 100-metre-long stone-paved ghat," an official spokesperson said.
Work amounting to Rs 23.46 crore is currently underway to connect the Saryu Riverfront with the Shri Ram Temple, providing visitors with a seamless spiritual and scenic journey. "Once completed, it will become a space for meditation, yoga, and ritual bathing, along with facilities such as shaded seating, landscaped walking paths, and other visitor-friendly amenities," he added.
