Ayodhya: A New Chapter Without Political Mobilisations

Ayodhya marked the 33rd anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition with heightened security and the absence of political or religious mobilisations. Strict measures were enforced to maintain peace. The new mosque project awaits approval from the Ayodhya Development Authority to proceed with construction in 2026.

On the 33rd anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition, Ayodhya was under stringent security, a marked change from previous years when political and religious groups held demonstrations.

Authorities conducted check drives across sensitive zones, including the newly built Ram temple area and transportation hubs, to prevent disturbances.

The Supreme Court's 2019 verdict and the passing of key dispute figures have resulted in fewer mobilisations. A proposed mosque project in Ayodhya, awaiting approval, aims to start in 2026 following community and design adjustments.
