Internet services have been suspended here for 24 hours beginning 12 AM on Saturday in view of the Supreme Court's verdict in the Ayodhya land dispute case, officials said.
The district administration has also prohibited any religious processions being taken out in the city in the wake of the order, even as heavy force was deployed to check any law and order situation.
District Magistrate, Aligarh, Chandra Bhushan Singh said, "The internet services have been suspended for 24 hours as precautionary measure. The decision on internet suspense would be reviewed after that and could be extended by another 24 hours. Schools and colleges across the district have already been ordered to remain closed till Monday."
