Shimla Himachal Pradesh Wednesday intensified security ahead of the court verdict on the Ramjanambhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute at Ayodhya, police said.

Security has been beefed up in almost all prominent tourist places in the state even as no town or village has been declared sensitive, Inspector General of Police S.R. Mardi told IANS.

‘Special measures have been taken in Bilaspur, Nahan, Chamba and Nalagarh towns where a large population of a minority community is living,’ he said.
