Ayodhya verdict: UP sets up makeshift jails, tracks social media posts

The central government has provided 4,000 central paramilitary personnel for deployment in Uttar Pradesh for Ayodhya verdict fallout.

Security has been increased in Ayodhya and places nearby and the 31 districts of Uttar Pradesh are on alert for the Supreme Court's verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit, government authorities said on Saturday.

The Uttar Pradesh government has created temporary jails in every district and suspended internet in some places to check rumours on social media.
