Policy based routing in partially-meshed FR/OSPF network

I have the following hub and spoke FR network:

                                           R2
                                     (multi-point)
                                       / \
                   dlci 102/201 / \ dlci 302/203
                                    / \
                                R1 R3

With ospf network type configured as non-broadcast and manually configuring
R2 as DR and R1/R3 as neighbors, I am able to bring the OSPF adjacencies up.
I'm using a /24 subnet so R3 shows up as directly connected to R1. Now when
I try to ping R3 from R1, it fails because there is no direct connectivity
between R1 and R3. Other than policy-based routing (making R2 as next-hop),
is there an another way of make R1 and R3 reachable to each other?

Appreciate your help.
Pranab
