Ayodhya is on high alert ahead of the Ram Temple consecration on January 22, following intelligence input indicating a potential terror threat.

Ayodhya
is on high alert as intelligence agencies have issued warnings about a possible
terrorist attack leading up to the consecration ceremony of the Ram
Temple on January 22. The heightened security measures come amid concerns
of potential threats to political leaders, officials, and overall unrest in the
area.
Intelligence
reports suggest that radical elements are actively planning to target specific
individuals and create disturbances in Ayodhya. Additionally, these elements
have sought to exploit the current Israel-Hamas conflict to influence the
Indian government's stance in favor of Israel, according to sources within the
intelligence community. In response to this alarming information, central
security agencies have conducted a high-level meeting to address the potential
threat, ensuring that all security forces deployed for the Ram Janmabhoomi
ceremony are on high alert.
The
security concerns extend beyond Ayodhya, with attempts to spread unrest in
various parts of Uttar Pradesh. Anti-national groups have reportedly prepared
social media posts aimed at creating an anti-India atmosphere, especially in
front of international communities. This has prompted authorities to closely
monitor online activities and take preventive measures to counteract any
potential misinformation or attempts to incite violence.
As Ayodhya prepares for the consecration ceremony, an extensive security setup is being implemented. The Uttar Pradesh government is actively executing a comprehensive plan that involves advanced security protocols and efficient traffic management strategies. The security measures include the deployment of CCTV cameras, an anti-drone system, and other precautions to ensure the safety of the event.

The
Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS) has integrated 1,500 public CCTV
cameras throughout Ayodhya, facilitating comprehensive surveillance. The yellow
zone in Ayodhya will be equipped with 10,715 AI-based cameras featuring face
recognition technology. These cameras will be seamlessly integrated with the
ITMS and monitored from a central control room, enhancing overall monitoring
and security in crucial areas.
Furthermore,
the Uttar Pradesh Police will deploy an Anti-Drone System to provide an
additional layer of security against potential aerial threats during the
consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple. The upcoming event, scheduled for
January 22, holds immense spiritual, historical, and cultural significance for
the people of India, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to attend. Ayodhya's
security measures aim to ensure a peaceful and secure environment throughout
the Amrit Mahautsav from January 14 to January 22.
