Heavy security in India amid appeals for peace

New Delhi: Tens of thousands of security personnel were posted across India ahead of the Ayodhya verdict on Thursday afternoon. From Kashmir to Kerala, many states were on "extra vigil" fearing trouble in the aftermath of the judgement.

"We are monitoring the situation minute-by-minute," an official in the home ministry said. "So far satisfactory. We hope the situation will remain peaceful after the judgment too."
