In Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh DGP R.M. Shukla said that the disputed structures at Varanasi, Mathura and Ayodhya were already well-protected for the last several years and so there were no immediate fears for them. In Delhi, police commissioner R.S. Gupta said that certain "intelligence inputs" had necessitated additional deployment. As a result, the capital's well-known places of worship were practically under siege. Devotees had a tough time entering the precincts of the Chhattarpur temple complex, the iskcon temple, Bahai temple, Malai Mandir, Laxmi Narayan temple and the popular Hanuman temple complexes in Connaught Place and Yamuna Bazaar.
