For the last few years, the day passes off peacefully without any untoward incident. Barring a small protest at the Darsgah Jihad-o-Shahadat office at Moghalpura, where an effigy is burned, the situation and life around the older parts of the city is normal.

Police officials said that however, arrangements were being made following reports of the newly elected candidates of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) visiting the Bhagyalakshmi temple at Charminar on Sunday. In view of the programme, the police presence has been strengthened in the area to prevent any untoward incident.

Meanwhile a group of women organized the ‘qunoot-e- nazia’ prayer congregation at the Eidgah Ujale Shah playground on Saturday evening for reclaiming the Babri Masjid.
