"Security arrangements have been made keeping in mind the convenience of the people and devotees," Ayodhya district magistrate Nikhil Tikaram Funde said.
Commandos of anti-terrorist squad (ATS) took charge of the security of the temple complex, classified as a red zone, with half a dozen armoured vehicle, on Monday.
"A plan for round-the-clock surveillance has been devised and commandos have been assigned three shifts for duty within the temple complex," said Ayodhya SSP Gaurav Grover.
The security personnel have been provided accommodation within the complex for round-the-clock monitoring.
To ensure smooth completion of the second consecration, the Ayodhya DM and the SSP conducted a detailed inspection of sensitive points and entry routes in Ayodhya.

'Justice After Decades': Annamalai Hails TN ATS For Arrest Of 3 Terrorists After 30 Years
Last Updated: He recalled his meeting with Muthukrishnan's family during the En Mann En Makkal Padayatra in December 2023. Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai on Monday praised the Tamil Nadu Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) for arresting three long-absconding terrorists nearly three decades after their alleged involvement in a series of deadly terror attacks across the state. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Annamalai said the arrests of Sadiq Ali (also known as Tailor Raja), Mohammed Ali Mansoor, and Abubacker Siddique marked a significant milestone. 'Heartfelt appreciation to the Tamil Nadu ATS, Andhra Pradesh State Police, and all officers involved," he wrote. The three accused were key members of the banned terror outfit Al-Ummah. They were linked to the 1998 Coimbatore serial bombings that claimed 58 lives, the 1993 bombing of the RSS office in Chennai, and the 1995 targeted killing of the wife of Hindu Munnani leader Muthukrishnan in Nagore. The 1995 attack used a bomb hidden inside a Ramayana book and was intended for Muthukrishnan himself. 'These terrorists lived under false identities, hiding in plain sight," Annamalai wrote, calling the arrests 'a crack in one of the longest-standing terror cases." He recalled his meeting with Muthukrishnan's family during the En Mann En Makkal Padayatra in December 2023. 'The wounds of that loss, though decades old, were still fresh in their eyes. Their strength, resilience, and quiet hope for justice have stayed with me ever since," he added. Annamalai praised the investigation teams for combining human intelligence with artificial intelligence to track down the fugitives. He said the arrests restore faith in justice and represent a critical moment in the state's efforts against terrorism. 'This breakthrough delivers long-overdue justice and brings closure to many families," he said. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Human intel and some tech: How Tamil Nadu nabbed 3 terror accused after 30 years
For over a decade, the chilli commission agent named Shahjahan Shaik was just another familiar face in the APMC yard of Vijayapura, northern Karnataka. A quiet man with three children, he worked long hours, rented a modest house, and disappeared into the crowd when the market closed. What his co-traders didn't know was that the man they greeted every day was Sadiq Ali — better known in the early 1990s as 'Tailor' Raja, a frontline cadre of the banned extremist outfit Al-Ummah and a key accused in the 1998 Coimbatore serial bombings that killed 58 and injured over 250. Raja — A18 or Accused 18, in the Coimbatore Blast case (Cr. No. 151/98) who was arrested on July 9 by the ATS — was not alone. Earlier that week, Tamil Nadu's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), in coordination with Andhra Pradesh Police, had arrested Abubacker Siddique, an alleged radicalised bomb-maker who vanished after orchestrating a deadly parcel bomb attack in 1995 that killed a Hindu Munnani leader's wife, and Mohammed Ali Mansoor, his associate, accused in the 1999 Chennai blasts. The arrests — part of 'Operation Aram' and 'Operation Agazhi' — have been hailed as the most significant breakthroughs since the formation of the ATS, 'the NIA of the state,' in November 2023. Powered by human intelligence, AI-enhanced sketches, and the hunches of field officers, the operations cracked cases gone cold for nearly three decades. The tailor and the mole Born Sadiq Ali but known widely as 'Tailor' Raja, he was once famous in South Ukkadam, Coimbatore, for stitching safari jeans — the flared, pocket-heavy trousers that were all the rage in Tamil Nadu through the 1990s. By 1996, however, his tailoring allegedly gave way to bloodier trades: petrol bombings, revenge killings, and finally, involvement in the Coimbatore blasts that targeted BJP leader L K Advani. After the attacks, Raja disappeared, allegedly wandering across Hubballi, Solapur, and Guntur, before settling down in Vijayapura under the false identity of Shahjahan Shaik — the name of his elder brother still living in Coimbatore. By then, Raja had allegedly severed contact with his first wife, remarried, and had children. They never knew who he was. While verdicts were delivered in the case between 2007 and 2008, Raja's split-up trial remains. What helped the ATS finally trace him was allegedly a black mole — a barely visible spot on an old photograph. 'We fed the photo into AI software to generate a probable aging sketch,' said a senior ATS officer. 'We showed it to a group of old tailors in Hubli. One of them remembered the mole. That cracked it open.' Armed with information that Raja allegedly left Hubli to live in Vijayapura, a historic town with at least 50 mosques, ATS officers went there and began chasing many faces before they traced him. They discreetly followed him for weeks, and once confident, they summoned him to the local police station on July 9. After a few questions, he allegedly confessed. Before leaving, he told his wife and children that he had to go to Coimbatore for an 'old case' and would be back in a few days. He was declared a proclaimed offender in 2022 for his 'role' in the 1996 murder of jail warder Boopalan, a retaliatory attack by Al-Ummah cadres against alleged harassment of Muslim inmates. Raja was also wanted in the Sayitha murder case in Nagore, where the wife of a newly converted Muslim was allegedly killed as her husband had opposed radical interpretations of Islam. In 1997, he was among the attackers who allegedly murdered jailor Jayaprakash in Madurai. The man who sent death in a parcel Abubacker Siddique was perhaps the most dangerous of the three. A quiet man from Tamil Nadu, he was allegedly radicalised by Imam Ali, the mastermind of the 1993 RSS office bombing in Chennai — the first major attack post-Babri Masjid. Siddique allegedly became skilled at assembling IEDs and parcel bombs. In 1995, he allegedly sent two such bombs — one to Hindu Munnani leader Muthukrishnan, which exploded and killed his wife, and another to BJP's Jagaveer Pandian, which was intercepted thanks to a vigilant postmaster. Siddique then allegedly fled to the UAE, returned briefly to Mumbai in 1998, and vanished again. By 1999, he had allegedly conspired in the Chennai police commissionerate and Victoria hospital bombings. Bombs were planted across 7 locations — 3 in Chennai, 1 each in Trichy and Coimbatore, and 2 in Kerala — between May 29 and 30, 1999, protesting the alleged mistreatment of Al-Ummah prisoners. Three exploded in Chennai. In 2011, he was allegedly part of a group plotting an assassination attempt on a top BJP leader — a plan that was foiled when Tamil Nadu police intercepted their team formation stage. Later, he was linked to the murder of Dr Arvind Reddy in 2012, along with Kitchen Buhari's group — a known offshoot of Bengaluru's 2013 Malleswaram blast accused. The top ATS officer who coordinated his arrest said Siddique lived in Rayachoti in Andhra Pradesh from 2002, selling used clothes on platforms, investing in small real estate deals, and running a petty shop. He allegedly married again in 2021. 'He would vanish once a month claiming he was visiting family in Tamil Nadu, but he'd be relaxing in Kerala or Bengaluru,' the officer said. 'We had 10 failed tip-offs over the last decade. The 11th one finally led us to him.' Using AI-based sketches and months of surveillance, the ATS located him. On June 30, he was summoned to a nearby station — where he allegedly gave himself up. He also allegedly gave up Mohammed Ali Mansoor, who was running a textile shop and was arrested from the same town, Rayachoti. Police found 2kg of ammonium nitrate, cotex wire, and metal bolts during the raid that followed. The Tamil Nadu ATS, created in response to the 2022 Coimbatore car bomb blast, operates with over 350 officers and state-wide jurisdiction, it focuses on old terror cases, sleeper cells, and absconders. In less than a year, the unit has cracked one of the longest-running terror hunts in southern India. DGP Shankar Jiwal said it was 'a professional, tireless effort' using both HUMINT (covert intelligence gathering) and TECHINT (using technical sources and methods). The identity of all three accused was confirmed within 24 hours of detention, he said. Chief Minister M K Stalin, in a post on X, hailed the arrests as 'a proud moment for Tamil Nadu Police' and thanked Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh Police for their cooperation.

ATS expands probe into Chhangur Baba's syndicate, teams sent to Maha, Nepal border
Lucknow: In the ongoing investigation into the alleged religious conversion syndicate run by Jamaluddin, also known as Chhangur Baba, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) has dispatched multiple teams to and districts bordering Nepal to unravel the network's financial and logistical links. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to top ATS sources, a team led by a deputy superintendent of police has been sent to Maharashtra to investigate properties worth over Rs 100 crore allegedly linked to Chhangur Baba's network. These properties, including high-value real estate in Pune, are suspected to have been purchased or encroached upon through benami transactions. A contentious land deal allegedly linked to the Chhangur Baba's network also implicates Sangita Devi, wife of a Balrampur court clerk, as a beneficiary in a profit-sharing agreement. ATS officials said they are working in coordination with the Maharashtra Police to verify property documents and question individuals associated with Chhangur Baba's operations in Nagpur, including his key aide, Idul Islam. Described as Baba's right-hand man in Maharashtra, Islam wields considerable political influence and allegedly runs an NGO through which illegal religious conversions were conducted. He is among the accused named in the FIR registered in Lucknow. Another accused Ramzan from Gonda is also under the scanner. Known as a middleman, Ramzan reportedly sourced vulnerable individuals for conversion and is suspected to have strong ties with operatives in districts along the Nepal border. "An ATS team will also visit border districts, including Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Bahraich, Shravasti, Balrampur, Siddharthnagar and Maharajganj. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now We have credible inputs of associates of Baba operating from these regions," said a senior officer. Chhangur Baba and his associate Neetu, also known as Nasreen, are currently in seven-day ATS custody. They are being interrogated on financial transactions, illegal property acquisitions and their syndicate's operational blueprint. Following the demolition of Chhangur Baba's palatial property in Utraula, Balrampur, valued at over Rs 3 crore, authorities are now searching for other properties that may have been acquired through illicit means. ATS arrested Chhangur Baba and Nasreen from Balrampur on July 5. A cash reward of Rs 50,000 had been announced for information leading to Chhangur Baba's arrest.
