Ayodhya Ram Mandir: 2 days after inauguration, over 50,000 camp outside temple overnight

However on Wednesday, barricades were placed to ensure that people stood in queues and entered in an orderly manner. “Darshan has started smoothly. For crowd management queue system has been strengthened and proper channels have been put in place for smooth flow of the visitors in and out of the temple,” DG (Law and order) Prashant Kumar told The Indian Express.

A day after the consecration ceremony on Tuesday, around 5 lakh people paid obeisance to the Ram idol.  At least 8,000 security personnel have been deployed to manage the rush. On Tuesday evening, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath arrived in Ayodhya to take stock of the situaiton. Those present at the temple gates said the CM had made a personal appeal to the crowd: “Darshan ke liye na harbarayen. Bheed normal hone ke baad Ayodhya aayein (do not be in a rush to pay obeisance. Let the crowd become normal and then come to Ayodhya).”

The CM also called senior police and administrative officers and held a review of crowd management efforts on the premises.
