Vora joins us now from new delhi 1st bring us up to speed with the security situation there this morning. Sami we were 6 in a a very recently and the town is very small but very very tense the entire country is very anxious as you rightly said this is one of the most important word its and everyone has been waiting for it with much anticipation even the security personnel 12000 police men and women have been deployed in there for they stats where this disputed site is in ringback 6 other states other precautions have also been imposed like students cannot go to schools they cannot go to colleges and all educational institutions have been shut until monday on top of that the 5 judges who are going to be very soon now delivering this word they have been given enhanced security religious leaders both the hindus and the muslims have called for peace the indian Prime Minister has also tweeted saying that this is a word it is not going to be one sides wikia another sides last so we hearing a lot of noises about why or lot of noises over keeping calm about that is because in 92 there were riots after bob remasters demolished in which 2000 people were killed all over india.
