Ayodhya station wears a deserted look

AYODHYA MARCH 2. The diversion of Ayodhya-bound trains started having an impact today as `kar sevaks' from West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra failed to reach here. And the railway station, which usually witnesses a lot of hustle-bustle and has seen particularly heightened activity during the last week, wore a deserted look .

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad's media officer, Sharad Sharma, told PTI that the Ayodhya-bound `kar sevaks' had been stopped at Sultanpur and other places and the organisers were making arrangements to bring them here. `

`We will see what means can be employed to bring them here,'' he said, adding ``they may come down walking as they have tremendous will power.''
