“I felt pain in my heart when I came to Ayodhya 45 years ago during my childhood and saw the temple in Lord Ram's birthplace destroyed by a foreign invader. Indian Muslims must understand that a foreign invader demolished the Ram Mandir before building a mosque on the very same spot,” said Dr. Chandra.

We provide close surveillance via drone cameras and human intelligence. All security gaps are being identified and addressed on priority,” said Ayodhya police chief Praveen Kumar.
