A day ahead of VHP`s proposed programmes in Ayodhya, paramilitary forces on Thursday staged a flag march in Ayodhya to instill confidence among people and demonstrate the force to be used in the event of breach of law and order. This is the second such exercise by the forces. Fourteen companies of CRPF and Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) besides some units of UP police, participated in the flag march which criss-crossed the city, including lanes close to the disputed site. Security personnel, in full anti-riot gears marched through the city particularly near Karsevakpuram and Ramsevakpuram (camp site of karsevaks). Mounted police and RAF also participated in the exercise which began at 11 am and concluded after one hour passing through areas having minority population. All vehicles entering the temple town have been thoroughly checked to prevent any anti-social elements from sneaking-in in the backdrop of intelligence report about terrorist plans to create disturbances and reports of Ramsevaks attempting to reach Ayodhya.
