As the Ayodhya city is gearing up to inaugurate Ram mandir in January the very next year, the Uttar Pradesh cabinet will be meeting in the city on Thursday, November 9. This date holds a significant importance in history because on the same date in 2019, Supreme Court delivered their judgement in the Badri Masjid and Ram Janmabhoomi case which finally paved the way for construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

Most of the cabinet ministers while giving the insights of the meeting and the topic of decision in the meet said that this is in entirety going to be a historic meet, given the significance of the date, November 9 and the divisions also that are likely to be taken will present a historical image. The cabinet ministers assured that the Diwali festival that is on November 12 will be celebrated with extreme joy at the birth place of Lord Ram, Ayodhya.
The ministers assured that the Deepotsav will also be celebrated prior Diwali to mark the historical Guinness world record.
However, the decisions taken in the cabinet meeting are yet to be disclosed or informed to the country, this meet and the time surely presents a historical view, with cabinet meeting held in Ayodhya for the first time that too during Diwali and on the date on Verdict delivered by Supreme Court on the case in 2019.
