This increase has coincided with the construction and inauguration of the Ram Temple in 2024, along with a broader infrastructure push across the temple town.According to a Press Information Bureau release, the number of visitors to the district increased from 6,022,618 in 2020 to 164,419,522 in 2024. State tourism figures also show that Ayodhya recorded more than 2.84 lakh visitors in 2017, rising to 2.39 crore in 2022, 5.75 crore in 2023 and over 16.44 crore in 2024. In fact, in the first quarter of 2025 alone, the city recorded more than 20 crore visitors, according to official data.The expansion of transport infrastructure has been central to accommodating the increase in arrivals. The redevelopment of the Ayodhya Dham railway station, along with the inauguration of Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, has significantly enhanced connectivity to the temple town. It currently connects Ayodhya with major Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata.Official data of the Uttar Pradesh government says that the total tourist footfall across the state increased from 23.75 crore in 2017 to more than 109.65 crore in the first quarter of 2025. Ayodhya has accounted for a substantial share of that growth, with official figures indicating that nearly one in five domestic tourists visiting Uttar Pradesh in recent years travelled to the temple town.The tourism surge has also created opportunities for businesses linked to hospitality, retail, transport and pilgrimage services. Local traders, hotel operators, transport providers and small businesses have reported an increase in demand as the number of visitors grow. This rise in tourism is linked to new investments and employment generation across sectors associated with the visitor economy.The economic impact of the tourism surge is also reflected in local incomes and government revenues. According to a study published by the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Lucknow in February, based on Ayodhya’s post-temple economy, the average daily earnings of a shopkeeper in the city have increased nearly fivefold, from around Rs 400-500 a day before the recent tourism boom to approximately Rs 2,500 a day.The study further found significant appreciation in property values, with real estate prices rising by 25-40% across the city and by as much as five to ten times in areas surrounding the Ram Mandir.The increase in commercial activity has also translated into higher tax collections. It was also noted that Ayodhya has generated around Rs 400 crore in Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue.Read the latest news on the go.

Nobody cared what you were called or who you prayed to. Over the past few months, however, a mix of criminal cases and viral claims has brought communal suspicion into a space that once seemed insulated from it.Like ‘love jihad’, ‘thook jihad’, ‘land jihad’ and ‘UPSC jihad’, the latest addition to this growing vocabulary of compound nouns is ‘gym jihad’. In January, police in Mirzapur alleged some gym owners and trainers were using fitness centres to befriend women, film compromising videos and pressure them into conversion. In March, a Saharanpur gym trainer was accused of drugging a nursing student’s protein drink and sexually assaulting her.By April, right-wing groups in Karnataka’s Hubballi were protesting outside a police station, claiming gyms had become hubs of ‘love jihad’. In the last four years, more than a dozen such cases have surfaced. On May 19, authorities in Mirzapur booked 10 gym operators under the Gangsters Act.The most recent flashpoint unfolded in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, where the family of 30-year-old Ayush Malik accused a female gym trainer-physiotherapist of a calculated conspiracy. According to the police complaint filed by Malik’s father, a pharmaceutical businessman, the accused trainer engineered a relationship to brainwash his son, coercing him into a secret nikah and a new identity as Mohammad Ali to usurp the family’s property.The narrative fractured when Ayush publicly rejected the allegations, asserting he converted entirely of his own free will after a decade of studying Islam. Despite his defense, local authorities registered an FIR under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act and arrested both the gym trainer and her father.In such cases, even before the charges can be verified, social media amplifies the narrative. One viral video last month claimed a Delhi-based Muslim gym instructor was using personal training sessions to advance an agenda. Fact-checkers later debunked the clip as manipulated, but not before it spread widely through WhatsApp groups.The resulting anxieties rarely manifest as overt violence. Gurgaon-based fitness enthusiast Himesh Nanda (name changed) says he began noticing more overt religious symbolism among trainers after the UP cases gained traction online.“You’ll see the red and yellow thread — the kalawa — very prominently on wrists now,” he says. “And more conspicuous displays of tattoos with imagery like Mahadev, Bajrangbali, Om, Ram, etc. In my knowledge, they are more closely associated with akharas and pehlwani culture than with urban gym chains.”In Hubballi, a 23-year-old Muslim gym trainer, Sameer Mulla, was assaulted by local groups over allegations involving a young Hindu woman. While right-wing outfits branded the case as ‘love jihad’, city police and the woman’s family cited rape, blackmail and abduction. “The fact is that we have a victim of sexual abuse and an accused person, and we have taken necessary legal action. A fitness trainer is a fitness trainer. Which community or caste a person belongs to is not a matter of concern for us,” TOI was told by police commissioner N Shashi Kumar, who led the investigation.In Bhopal last year, right-wing activists demanded gym owners pledge not to employ Muslim men and organised mass recitations of the Hanuman Chalisa inside gyms. The controversy escalated when a police officer was filmed ordering a gym to ban Muslim staff and clients. Senior officials later suspended the sub-inspector for issuing the directive.“But suspension hardly works. There is always a new fever in MP. Sometimes it’s ‘thook jihad’ because of an unverified viral video of a fruit vendor gargling water over a fruit cart, or it’s ‘land jihad’ or ‘UPSC jihad’. The community is routinely targeted to deflect attention from other administrative issues,” says Bhopal-based advocate Deepak Bundele, who has routinely petitioned the NHRC on alleged ‘love jihad’ cases.Members of the community have also challenged the cases in court. “Under what law have the gym owners been arrested in Mirzapur,” asks Anas Tanwir, founder of the Indian Civil Liberties Union. The Supreme Court is reviewing the Gangsters Act used in the case, but Tanwir says that despite earlier rulings that allegations alone are insufficient grounds for arrest, youth remain in jail for indefinite periods.In north Delhi’s Wazirabad, Sultan Shaikh insists his gym is “not a battleground in the culture wars”. He has run GS Fitness, a neighbourhood gym, for five-six years. His Instagram reels mix workout clips with messages against violence, hate and vandalism, and draws on Hindu religious values. “People hear rumours, then they go shouting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and vandalise places. I tell them to first understand what Ram actually stood for.”The response is often hostile. “People comment asking if I’m running a madrasa or a temple in the name of a gym,” he says. But Shaikh insists that “all this ‘gym jihad’ nonsense is political tactics.”Yet gym-goers like Prachi, a Pune-based fitness enthusiast, proudly says her gym does not hire Muslim trainers. “That makes me feel safe,” says the 35-year-old IT professional, who also recounts how her husband’s friend “saved” a cousin in Vidarbha from a Muslim gym trainer after they had an affair. “When a Hindu trainer misbehaves with a Hindu girl in a gym, at least there is no added fear of conversion, right?”Read the latest news on the go.

Responding to the situation, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said New Delhi had observed “a pattern of fake news and videos emanating from Pakistan” in connection with the protests. “It is a desperate attempt by Pakistan to cover up its own failings and deflect attention away from its human rights abuses,” he said.Also read: Six security forces killed as terrorists storm post in Peshawar amid growing unrest in PakistanJaiswal also referred to reports of excessive force being used against civilians in PoK. “There are reports of severe police brutality in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, in which several people have been killed and many injured. We hope the international community will hold Pakistan accountable for its misdeeds and abuses,” he added.His remarks came as tensions continued to escalate across PoK following deadly clashes between protesters and Pakistani security forces. A shutdown strike remained in effect in several areas, while reports suggested that communication services had been disrupted after violence in Rawalakot and Muzaffarabad. Demonstrations have spread across multiple towns, including Bhimbar and Kotli, with hundreds of people taking part in anti-government protests.According to reports, at least eleven civilians were killed during clashes on Sunday night.The unrest has also attracted international attention. More than 50 British parliamentarians have written to UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper expressing concern over reports of a communications blackout, arrests and escalating tensions in PoK. In their letter, the lawmakers said British Kashmiris had struggled to contact relatives in the region and warned that restrictions on communications risked worsening an already volatile situation.Read the latest news on the go.

Accused Manisha Waghmare (ANI) NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Saturday rejected the bail application of Manisha Waghmare, one of the accused in the alleged NEET-UG paper leak case being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).Waghmare was arrested on May 14 and was in judicial custody.The order was passed by the Rouse Avenue Court, which is hearing matters related to the high-profile examination leak case that triggered a nationwide controversy over the integrity of the medical entrance examination.In a related development, the court sought a response from the CBI on the interim bail plea filed by another accused, Yash Yadav.Yadav has requested 15 days of interim bail to appear for the upcoming NEET-UG examination scheduled on June 21 and to participate in his sister’s wedding ceremonies.The court has directed the CBI to submit its reply and listed the matter for further hearing on June 12. The investigation into the alleged paper leak and related irregularities is currently underway.What is the NEET-UG paper leak case?The NEET-UG paper leak case came to light after allegations surfaced that the question paper had been leaked ahead of the medical entrance examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on May 3.The exam, which is the country’s largest medical entrance test, was taken by more than 22 lakh candidates seeking admission to undergraduate medical courses.On May 7, the NTA received information about alleged irregularities linked to the examination.According to sources, a PDF file containing questions believed to be from the NEET-UG paper was circulating, raising concerns about a possible leak. The agency subsequently alerted law enforcement authorities on May 8 to investigate the matter.As the controversy grew and evidence of malpractice emerged, the NTA took the unprecedented step of cancelling the examination.The case was later handed over to investigative agencies, leading to multiple arrests and a wider probe into an alleged network involved in leaking and distributing the examination paper before the test.Read the latest news on the go.
