The local administration, supervised by top officials of the Uttar Pradesh government, has ramped up security after a few right-wing groups threatened to install an idol of Lord Krishna in the adjacent Shahi Idgah mosque in Mathura on December 6. The police have thrown a three-tiered security ring around the Katra Keshav Dev area, where the temple rubs shoulders in a historic dispute with Shahi Idgah mosque.
