UP gears up for ‘Deepotsav’

The much-publicised ‘Deepotsav’ in Ayodhya later this week will now be a state government function and the UP Government will bear the entire expenses of the event.  

Earlier, the UP Tourism Department spent funds from its own budget for it, but now the state government will directly fund it through the district administration.

• Rs 133 crore sanctioned by UP for ‘Deepostav’ 
• Rs 5.51 lakh ‘diyas’ will be lit on October 26
