Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has announced that Faizabad district will now be known as Ayodhya.
This announcement comes three weeks after the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government renamed Allahabad as Prayagraj.
“Ayodhya is a symbol of our ‘aan, baan aur shaan’, said Adityanath.
A town named Ayodhya already exists close to Faizabad.
