In preparation for the Pran Pratishtha ceremony—the grand inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya—the Mumbai police have heightened security throughout the city. Sensitive areas are being patrolled 24x7 and preventive measures are being implemented to maintain law and order. Following the Babri Mosque demolition in 1992, Mumbai faced significant challenges in 1993, including major riots and terrorism, in response to the mosque’s destruction.
According to sources, the city police have cancelled leaves to ensure an increased presence of police personnel on the ground, keeping a vigilant eye on potential miscreants. “We have implemented robust security measures to prevent any untoward situations. Our focus is to maximise the presence of police personnel and maintain round-the-clock patrolling,” said Satya Narayan Chaudhary, joint commissioner (law and order).
