Security beefed up around Ayodhya, Muslim groups call for peace
The incident had sparked off communal riots across the country and also in Pakistan and Bangladesh in 1992-93.
Muslim organisations have decided to observe "black day" and Hindu outfits, a "day of victory".
A three-tier security cordon has been set up Ayodhya and all its entry points have been sealed to maintain peace on the eve of 21st anniversary of Babri Mosque demolition.
Around 10,000 personnel from state police, Rapid Action Force (RAF) and Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) have been deployed to maintain law and order, official sources said.
PAC jawans will also carry out round-the-clock water patrol on river Sarayu to prevent any untoward incident.

A special prayer would also be held on Friday during which the Muslim community would pray for disposal of all the cases related to the demolition, Jilani said.
