Modia added that if it is not at all possible to keep their belongings at any other place they can submit them at the citizen help centres and also use the locker facility.
"If it is at all not possible, then citizen help centres have been set up at the temple premises where they can keep their luggage and use the locker facility," he said.

"Several devotees are coming from different states in buses, trains, cars for Lord Ram Lalla's darshan. The darshan is going on peacefully without any inconvenience to others. A crossing has been put in place for devotees coming for darshan," he said.
Speaking on the upcoming Chief Minister's visit to Ayodhya, the ADG said, "The Chief Minister will come to inspect all facilities here and will give us directions."
The ADG said that the police have a detailed crowd management plan in place to control excess crowds coming for darshan in Ayodhya.
