The temple city of Mathura near Shri Krishna Janmasthan turned into a fortress on the eve of the Ayodhya demolition after some organisation announced to do jalabhishek at the Shri Krishna Janmasthan on Monday.
Central forces, including Rapid Action Force, have been deployed near the Shri Krishna Janmasthan and the adjoining Idgah.
An organisation named Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Mukti Dal has announced to march to Mathura on Monday from different parts of the state and offer jalabhishek at the Shri Krishna Janmasthan.
The issue of Mathura turned political after Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya had tweeted that after Kashi and Ayodhya, now people should be ready for Krishna Janmasthan.
Meanwhile in Mathura, on December 6, vehicles going towards Shri Krishna birthplace and Idgah have been banned, Superintendent of Police (Traffic) in Mathura Harendra Kumar said on Sunday.
The traffic restrictions will remain in force from Sunday to Tuesday.
In Mathura district, 2,100 police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed around religious places. The residents around Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi were not allowed to leave without investigation. They were allowed to leave only after seeing the Aadhaar card.
According to Superintendent of Police (City) Martand Prakash Singh, security has been divided into two super zones, four zones and eight sectors and those who disturb the atmosphere will be dealt with strictly.
