AYODHYA, MAR 5 (PTI)
Chanting hymns, Kar Sevaks today took out a march from one camp to another inthe holy city, violating prohibitory orders for the second day running.
Carrying banners and raising slogans in praise of Lord Rama, nearly 300 KarSevaks, mostly women, took out the march from Kar Sevak Puram to Ram Sevak Puramcovering a distance of one-km.
When police tried to persuade them not to take out the march, they moved inbatches of four but regrouped after some distance. About 100 Kar Sevaks took outa procession yesterday defying prohibitory orders.
A senior official, when asked to comment on the violation, told PTI "itwas a peaceful procession, if we call it a procession at all." "Nobodyhas violated the law as there is absolute peace. Administration will notunnecessarily provoke them," he said.
Authorities had put up public notices outside Kar Sevak Puram and Ram SevakPuram on Saturday warning against organising rallies or taking out processions.

Interestingly, the notices were not seen yesterday and were apparentlyremoved.
Meanwhile, police today started house-to-house survey to check authenticityof genuine residents. Checking and patrolling at city's border was intensifiedto prevent Kar Sevaks from entering Ayodhya.
Police sources said at least 65 companies of CRPF had either been deployed orwere on stand-by to meet any eventuality.
They would supplement 17 companies of Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) andthe state police, the sources said.
They said so far 2500 Kar Sevaks had been "transported" out by thestate administration since the suspension of train services.
