On the 22nd anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition today, Ayodhya is on high alert.
Ten thousand security personnel have been deployed amid calls by Muslim outfits to mark the day by hoisting black flags even as Hindu bodies seek to commemorate it. Prohibitory orders have been clamped in the city and mounted police will be among about 10,000 police and anti-riot personnel keeping a vigil, reports CNN-IBN.
The local administration has laid a three-tier security cordon around the twin cities of Ayodhya and Faizabad. Officials of superintendent rank will be manning the key areas.
