Security has been tightened in the city to prevent any untoward incident during the consecration of Ram temple at Ayodhya, on Monday.
While there is a ban on taking out processions, additional police have been deployed around places of worship where religious ceremonies are planned, in sensitive areas of the city. There is a watch on the entry and exit of people at hotels and guest houses and the police are maintaining vigil and monitoring the city closely.
Similar measures are in places with a history of communal incidents like Hunsur and patrolling has been intensified — including on highways leading to the city — with additional deployment of security personnel for early response in case of any untoward incident.
