City forest to come up in Ayodhya soon
Ayodhya/Lucknow: A barren piece of land will be converted into a city forest, creating another attraction for visitors heading to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
Spread over a 230-acre area along the Saryu river, the project is estimated to cost Rs 20 crore.
The local development authority has submitted the detailed project report to the housing department for approval.
The Ayodhya development authority has identified land near Dashrath Samadhi for developing the city forest. To be set up in Sita Rampur village, the chosen site is situated close to the solar city. Vice-chairman of the authority, Ashwini Kumar Pandey said, "We will name the mini forest as Shabri Van Vatika.
It will improve the environmental conditions of the city and will be a prime tourist destination."
As no such project has been undertaken in the state so far, the govt has sought the budget estimates required on a yearly basis to complete various phases of the project. The authority officials, meanwhile, said that apart from focusing on planting local species of trees, both flower-bearing and fruit-bearing trees will also be planted.

To cater to the tourists, restaurants and commercial complexes will be developed strategically within the 230-acre layout, and walkways will be developed to attract the local population interested in morning and evening walks.
"Once we get the approval, we will work on the elements and amenities that will have to be provided. We will incorporate some features from the Vedic scriptures like the Ramayana, to recreate the vanvas of Ram and Sita," a senior officer said.
