Tight security in Ayodhya ahead of Babri verdict

With less than a week to go for the verdict on the Babri mosque demolition case, security has been beefed up in Ayodhya city of Uttar Pradesh. Paramilitary forces have been deployed at various sensitive areas after a special meeting was called in Lucknow to heighten security all over the state. Meanwhile, Madan Mohan Das, chief priest of the Nirmohi Akhara, a Hindu religious school that is also one of the key parties in the Babri Mosque-Ram Janmabhoomi title suit, says that they are hoping for a favourable verdict, and they get to construct the temple.
