A high alert has been sounded in Ayodhya after intelligence agencies warned of a possible terror attack in the holy city in the near future.

According to reports, the intelligence agencies had warned on Friday that terrorists may sneak into the holy city of Uttar Pradesh from neighbouring Nepal to carry out a major terror attack here.

In the wake of the intelligence warning, the security across the city has been beefed up and the paramilitary forces deployed here have been asked to be more vigilant.

Surveillance and patrolling in sensitive areas have also been increased after the intelligence warning.
