UP CM Yogi Adityanath directs to ensure timely completion of Ayodhya Ram Temple and Airport
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said state government is making efforts to ensure the Ayodhya airport is made functional along with the Ram Temple in the district. The Chief Minister made the remarks as the state civil aviation department signed a lease agreement with the Airports Authority of India pertaining to about 318 acres to build an airport in Ayodhya.
Comparing the construction of the airport to ‘pushpak viman’, a mythical flying carriage, the Chief Minister said, “When Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya, he came on a pushpak viman. Besides constructing a mega temple of Ram, we must also make efforts to make the airport functional. The state government will provide full cooperation.”
Speaking on the construction of the Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport in the Ayodhya district, the administration will provide another 86 acres required for the construction soon. He said the state government has already sanctioned and made available the entire amount required for the purchase of the land to the district administration. “We will also help ensure better connectivity and the development of Ayodhya in a time-bound manner,” he said.
Calling the completion of the land lease agreement a commendable initiative, Adityanath said his state, in the last five years, has made rapid strides in providing air connectivity and that Uttar Pradesh will boast of 10 new airports, including five international ones, by next year.
Once functional, Uttar Pradesh will have 19 airports, which would be the highest for a state in India. Taking a dig at the previous governments, Adityanath said the state had only two fully functional airports — Lucknow and Varanasi until 2017. Gorakhpur and Agra had an airport each but it operated only occasionally. Today, nine airports of the state are fully functional, he added.
Till 2017, only 25 destinations were connected via air. Today, we are providing air service to more than 75 destinations in the state, Adityanath said. The chief minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is of the opinion that air services should not be limited to a certain section, but should be made affordable even to the ones who wear slippers.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
