In this sequence, we have arranged for 1,504 devotees from Naveen Shahdara to Shri Ram Lalla in Ayodhya Dham. We have ensured that passengers don't face any inconvenience," Tiwari told ANI on Friday.
Earlier, the 'Aastha Special Train' saw a large number of Lord Ram devotees departing for Prabhu Ram's abode from Jalandhar, on Friday.
The devotees will pay their obeisance to Lord Ram at the grand temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.
