The district administration conducted a high-level security meeting in Ayodhya ahead of the planned event.

Intelligence reports have suggested that the gathering at the VHP event may see a breach of the peace, police sources said. VHP spokesman Sharad Sharma has said that 'Hindu Swabhimaan Diwas' (Hindu Respect Day) will be observed tomorrow.

"We have sent invites through social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. We are hopeful that a large number of people will turn up," he said.
