India News : Ayodhya and surrounding areas under heavy security cover
- 5 years ago
India News : The Vishwa Hindu Parishad says it will begin its 300-km-long parikrama or religious procession around Ayodhya, banned by the Uttar Pradesh government, at 9:30 this morning, with a puja on the ghats of the Saryu river in the town.
Former BJP MP Ram Vilas Vedanti and sitting MLA Ram Chandra Yadav were arrested early on Sunday morning, even as a defiant VHP plans to go ahead with its proposed yatra in this temple town. MLA Ram Chandra Yadav was also arrested.
The town has been under heavy security cover as VHP declared that it will go ahead with the yatra, which has been banned by the ruling Samajwadi Party government fearing a communal flare-up.
A curfew-like situation is prevailing in the town as shops have been shut and Naya Ghat area has been cordoned off.
