Lucknow, Feb 21 (IANS) Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has requested Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to provide land in Ayodhya for a guest house for Uttarakhand.

“Uttarakhand will build a guest house in Ayodhya as every Ram devotee of Uttarakhand wants to come to Ayodhya,” he told IANS.

Dhami said the relationship between Ayodhya and Uttarakhand is deep and people of Uttarakhand will always come to Ayodhya.

The CM and his cabinet colleagues visited Ayodhya on Tuesday to offer prayers at the Ram temple.
