After the opening of temple gates for the general public in Ayodhya on Tuesday, clashes ensued as devotees eager to have a glimpse of the deity tried to breach police barricades. Police resorted to lathi charges to control the devotees who, with fervor, were attempting to break through the barricades to reach the Ram temple for a glimpse of the deity. The change in the route to the Ram temple led to altering traffic lanes without allowing the devotees to walk freely. Trucks were used to block certain areas as part of enhanced security measures, diverting traffic from one region to another.

The road leading to Ayodhya Dham Junction railway station has been closed, and authorities have instructed people to access their respective railway stations via alternative routes. In order to prevent any untoward incidents, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Ayodhya and supervised the implementation of stringent security measures. Ahead of the anticipated surge in crowds, Yogi Adityanath inspected the temple premises and surveyed the area for better crowd management
