Akhilesh Yadav holds metting as tension runs high in Ayodhya
The Chief Minister has directed officials to take steps to maintain law and order in the town.
The trucks arrived almost six months after Vishwa Hindu Parishad announced its programme to collect stones for construction of Ram temple.
"Two trucks of stones have been unloaded at Ram Sewak Puram, a VHP property in Ayodhya, and 'Shila Pujan' (praying of the stones) has been performed by Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, the president of Ram Janam Bhumi Nyas," VHP spokesman Sharad Sharma had said.
The BHP had announced in June its plan to collect stones for construction of the temple. It had also asked the Muslim community not to create any hindrance.
