Yogi Adityanath Tightens Ayodhya Preparations for President Murmu’s March 19 Visit and Ram Navami

The chief minister set strict timelines with heightened surveillance to manage expected festival crowds.

Overview

On March 12, Adityanath inspected the Ram Janmabhoomi complex and led a review with the temple trust, public representatives and police to finalize readiness.
He ordered strict surveillance at public places, put intelligence and anti-drone control rooms on high alert, and required full security checks at temple entry points.
To ease pilgrim movement during Ram Navami, he directed clear footpaths, crowd-management screens for darshan, golf carts between Lata Mangeshkar Chowk and Hanumangarhi, advance parking and drinking-water stations.
He also reviewed progress on Parikrama Marg works and the Temple Museum as part of ongoing construction oversight in the temple area.
For March 19, President Droupadi Murmu is scheduled for Vedic rituals, installation rites and a felicitation of about 400 temple workers with around 5,000 invited guests, while the trust says it plans phased access to additional shrines afterward and former litigant Iqbal Ansari welcomed the visit.
