UP: CM Yogi Adityanath flags off 51 ordinary BS VI buses in Ayodhya

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday flagged off 51 ordinary BS VI buses in Ayodhya during the ‘Mission Mahila Sarathi’ launch and congratulated the UP Transport Department for achieving the milestone. The buses will have women drivers and conductors. While inaugurating the Mission, CM Yogi said,  women’s safety and their respect have been a big challenge. 

This is why the Indian culture has always pushed the idea that where women are respected, that society will be strong, self-sufficient, and reach new heights of development. He said the Uttar Pradesh Transport Department is considered to be the backbone of transportation in the state.

Be it a village or city, people used to travel by buses of the Transport Department. He said today is Maha Ashtami of the Shardiya Navratri festival. We worship the eighth form of Maa Durga – Maa Mahagauri, on this day. There could not be a better day than this to inaugurate Mission Mahila Sarathi, CM Yogi added.
 
Earlier in the day, Yogi Adityanath also offered prayers at the Devkali temple in Ayodhya. CM Yogi Adityanath visited Ayodhya on yesterday, where he received a warm welcome at Ramkatha Park. The construction work at the Ram temple is underway to meet the deadline for its scheduled inauguration in January next year.
