JAMMU: Jugal Kishore Sharma, a Lok Sabha member from Jammu, launched the third Astha train, which would carry thousands of pilgrims from Jammu to the holy city of Ayodhya to see Shri Ram Lalla. Speaking on the occasion, Jugal Kishore Sharma said that many people are travelling to Ayodhya in the wake of the Pran Pratishtha of Shri Ram Lalla because Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and the Pran Pratishtha of Idol Shri Ram on January 22, 2024, has fulfilled a dream that has been in their family for 500 years. He predicted that more people would travel to Ayodhya in the upcoming days and that more trains would probably depart from J&K.When the train from Jammu Railway Station headed towards Ayodhya, people were singing Jai Shri Ram slogans and were overcome with religious fervour.
