This dispute has been running for last 60 years for a 60ft by 40 ft land in Ayodhya where the Babri masjid stood till December 6 1992. Since 1950, five title suits have been in the Allahabad High Court, staking claim to the title of the plot of land of the Babri Masjid. Of these, four are to be decided by the Lucknow bench of the high court and the D-day is today itself which will definitely change the future of Ayodhya.

The Centre has asked the state governments to check and curb any action that would hamper the law and order of the state. The state governments have also been directed to be on high alert in the wake of the verdict. Nearly, 1.9 lakhs Para-military forces have been alone deployed in Uttar Pradesh.

For other parts of the country, government officials said the Centre had placed paramilitary forces at 16 locations — half of them near Indian Air Force stations — to enable quick movement of forces if an emergency break out.

However, Home minister P. Chidambaram is confident that there would be no trouble after the judgement. He also said that he did not foresee any problems as almost all political parties , religious groups and those associated with the dispute, have said they would respect the verdict of the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court.
