Mathura police stopped people from heading to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi after a call for 'kar seva' was made at the site. Security was tightened around the complex, and movement was restricted without permission. SP (City) Rajiv Kumar said the restrictions followed High Court and Supreme Court orders that bar any unlawful activity or new religious practice at the site. Those who arrived were informed and sent back. Among them was Meera Thakur from Agra. No one was taken into custody, and the police said law and order remained under control.
