Babri Masjid demolition anniversary: It's 'Shaurya Diwas' vs 'Yaum-e-Gham' in Ayodhya

Faizabad: UP's Ayodhya is all set to witness events by outfits representing both Hindus and Muslims on the 23rd anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition.

The Faizabad district administration has stepped up security and is taking measures to maintain peace as the Vishwa Hindu Parishad is gearing up to organise an event 'Shaurya Diwas' to mark the anniversary, while Babri Masjid Action Committee (BMAC) members will observe it as 'Yaum-e-Gham' (The day of sorrow).

Intelligence reports have suggested that the gathering at the VHP event may see a breach of the peace, police sources said. 

Faizabad District Magistrate Anil Dheengra said, "We are extra cautious and keeping a close vigil so the communal harmony is not disturbed." 

Forces have been kept on high alert in the twin towns of Faizabad and Ayodhya, he said.
