Deepotsav in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh now a State Government Event

Lucknow: The much-publicized ‘Deepotsav’ in Ayodhya later this week will now be an official function and the Uttar Pradesh government will bear the entire expenses of the event. A decision to this effect has been taken by the state Cabinet. Earlier, the UP Tourism Department spent funds from its own budget for ‘Deepotsav’ at Ayodhya, but now the state government will directly fund the function through the district administration. Government spokesperson Srikant Sharma said ‘Deepostav’, which was organised by the Tourism Department in the last two years, would henceforth be a state government event. (IANS)
