On Tuesday, a huge crowd of devotees were seen to have darshan of Ramlala. During this time, the entire system appeared to be breaking down, after which Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself had to step in for crowd management.

Not only this, all other routes leading to Ram Janmabhoomi path were completely closed.
