Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's (CMO) office on Saturday on Saturday informed that the State  government has taken the decision to rename Faizabad railway junction as Ayodhya Cantt. Taking to the official Twitter handle, the CMO tweeted:- "UP CM Shri @myogiadityanath has decided to rename Faizabad railway junction as Ayodhya Cantt.”

Earlier, 3 years ago, the Uttar Pradesh government renamed the Faizabad district as Ayodhya, its railway station.  This is yet another name-change exercise undertaken by the Uttar Pradesh government. Besides renaming Faizabad as Ayodhya, which it did in November 2018 on the occasion of Diwali, the ruling dispensation, in October that year, changed Allahabad's name to Prayagraj.

Similarly, in June 2018, the over century-old Mughalsarai railway station was renamed after Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologue Deen Dayal Upadhyay.
