Authorities have tightened security restrictions in the northern Indian flashpoint city of Ayodhya ahead of a crucial Supreme Court ruling over the disputed site fiercely contested between Hindus and Muslims.

For decades Hindus and Muslims have been bitterly divided over the 16th-century Babri mosque – here a sadhu, a Hindu holy man, is stopped from entering the disputed site in March 2002

Tensions boiled over in 1992 when Hindu zealots destroyed the mosque, sparking religious violence that killed 2,000 people. The restrictions under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure prohibiting more than four people to assemble were first imposed on August 31, Ayodhya’s district magistrate Anuj K. Jha said Sunday, but were tightened further on Saturday.

The new orders said that “drones, unmanned aerial vehicle, unknown flying objects or anything that can be weaponized are banned without prior permission from district authorities”.
