On Tuesday, there were a few instances where the throngs of devotees knocked down barriers and tried to pass through. The unforeseen scenario was quickly handled by the relevant authorities, police officers, and staff. After all of this, worshippers lined up once again to enter the Ram Mandir.
Due to the massive number of visitors yesterday, the Mandir was temporarily closed on Tuesday. Due to the intense rush and throng, the Ayodhya Police and the local government decided to temporarily suspend devotee admission. The doors were closed till 2:00 PM in order to guarantee everyone’s security. Later, starting at 2:00 PM, worshippers may enter the shrine.
