According to reports, the Yogi Adityanath government has come up with a mini secretariat inside the Awadh university campus to assist the Ayodhya mediation panel in its task.
As per the direction of the Supreme Court, all important facilities including lodging, negotiation room etc, have been set for the three Ayodhya mediators here.
In view of the Supreme Court order directing all concerned to maintain confidentiality in the Ayodhya mediation process, no official communication about the movement of the members or their schedule has been made public.
According to sources, the three court-appointed mediators are expected to reach Ayodhya around 11 AM.
In the first leg, the mediation panel is expected to stay in Ayodhya for around three days, following which the further schedule will be worked out depending upon the progress in mediation and dialogue with the litigants in the case.
The Supreme Court had on Friday ordered mediation in the Ayodhya title suit.
The order was passed by a five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi.
