| Five live crude bombs found at a Rae Bareli court hearing the Babri Masjid demolition case were found to be firecrackers, according to Lucknow DIG.
Security has been tightened across Uttar Pradesh, especially at courts.
The alleged bombs were found in a bag placed on a cycle. One person has also been arrested in connection with bombs found in Rae Bareli.
Today is the 15th anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition. On Wednesday, the first witness appeared in the case in court.
In Ayodhya, there is extra security around the three main temples of Hanumangarhi, Nageshwarnath and Kanak Bhavan. All vehicles coming into the city are being checked thoroughly and even offerings being carried into temples by devotees are being screened.
Security has also been increased at several sensitive locations including the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun and at the Taj Mahal in Agra.
Informed sources said intelligence agencies had alerted the police about possible terrorist strikes on Thursday, leading to tight security in Ayodhya, where the mosque stood, as well as the neighbouring town of Faizabad.
Officials said the situation was made grave by the killing a fortnight ago of 13 people in a string of bomb blasts in Faizabad, Varanasi and Lucknow.
But 15 years after Hindu mobs razed the Babri mosque December 6, 1992, sentiments on both sides of the religious divide have calmed considerably. Officials said that protests planned Thursday were mostly ritual in nature.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) will observe the day as Shaurya Diwas at Ayodhya and take a pledge to build a grand temple of Lord Ram on the ruins of the Babri mosque. The Shiv Sena will separately mark a Vijay Diwas (Day of Victory).
Muslim outfits will remain in the mourning mould, a practice undertaken since the 1992 razing.
