Ram Rajya Rath Yatra reaches Rameswaram

RAMESWARAM: The Vhp-backed Ram Rajya Rath Yatra, seeking to mobilise support for a Ram temple in Ayodhya, arrived here on Wednesday to a rousing welcome amid police security. The yatra, which entered Tamil Nadu on Tuesday, reached the holy island in the evening after traversing Tirunelveli, Tuticorin and Madurai districts. Activists of VHP and some other Hindu outfits, including Hindu Makkal Katchi, accompanied the yatra being organised by Sri Ramadasa Mission Universal Society. A strong posse of Police personnel escorted the yatra in view of attempts by some pro-tamil and Muslim outfits attempt to block it in Tirunelveli district when it entered the state on Tuesday.
