Ayodhya: Devotees continue to flock to Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya Ram Mandir in large numbers two days after the ‘pran pratishtha’ ceremony of Ram Lalla. Visuals from outside the temple show a huge crowd braving the cold winter morning to have a ‘darshan’ of Lord Ram.
Around 1,000 Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel have been deployed in and around the temple complex to ensure devotees get their turn to have a ‘darshan’. Principal Home Secretary and Uttar Pradesh Special ADG (Law and Order) Prashant Kumar are present to review the situation at the temple. “People have gathered here in huge numbers. Principal home secretary and I have been sent here.. We have improved the queue system for crowd management. We have made channels for the people..”
“The crowd is nonstop, but preparations are complete. We appeal to the old and Divyang people to schedule their visit after two weeks. I want to appeal to the people that there’s no need to hurry for Darshan. The temple will be opened for everyone with better preparations,” the senior police official said.
Special additional deputy-general of police (law and order) Prashant Kumar said the queue system to manage crowds has been improved. Dedicated channels for people have been made.
Earlier on January 23, the entry to the Ayodhya Ram Mandir had been closed because of the huge rush of devotees who have been waiting in line for hours, since the temple opened for the general public today itself. Keeping in mind the people’s security, the administration and police had closed the entry temporarily and barricades were put on the roads leading to the temple. Barricades were also been put on the highways and vehicles coming in this direction have been halted for the time being.
