On the holy occasion of Mauni Amavasya, more than ten crore devotees took a dip in the Sangam in Mahakumbh. But last night there was a very sad, unfortunate accident in Sangam city. People reached ahead of time to bathe first near Sangam. Some people lay on the way. Many people fell asleep there. The number of people coming from behind was very high.

At around 1 pm, the crowd broke the police barricade and ran towards Sangam. No one saw the people lying there and thirty people died in this tragic accident. More than sixty people were injured. While stating this, Yogi Adityanath had tears in his eyes. Although the police and administration took immediate action, called an ambulance, built a green corridor, rushed people to the hospital, but it is very sad that 30 people could not be saved.

Yogi Adityanath was in the control room since midnight. All night kept taking information from the officers every night. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also taken updates on the phone on the phone four times before the sun came out. Home Minister Amit Shah also spoke to Yogi. After taking a bath, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav made arrangements for special trains to immediately send the devotees back from Prayagraj. In view of the crowd of crores of devotees, the fair administration opened all the avenues of the Sangam city so that the crowd does not gather at one place.

This was the first time that on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya, the common people took a dip in the confluence before the religious leaders and Naga sadhus of the Akharas. Shankaracharyas, Acharyas and Mahamandaleshwar finally took a bath in the Ganges. In view of the crowd in Prayagraj, the trains of devotees were stopped in the surrounding cities. Even after this, more than ten crore devotees took a dip. Millions of people got stuck in cities like Varanasi, Jaunpur, Pratapgarh, Fatehpur.

On the auspicious occasion of Mauni Amavasya, the accident in Mahakumbh is serious, crying. The question is not just about the deaths and the injured. If a devotee also knows, then this is a big deal. It is true that many devotees were lying there due to the urge to bathe first in Amrit Yoga. When the crowd of the crowd came, no one saw it down. People were crushed.

I consider it a lapse of administration as this situation was not already guessed. There is everything, CCTV cameras are installed, drones, police personnel are deployed, STF, NDRF, NSG are all security forces but no one has forecast this situation. But for this reason, to say that there is misconduct everywhere in Mahakumbh, the system is bad, there will be injustice to policemen and employees who manage day and night because they are working very hard. On Wednesday, 8 crore people reached Mahakumbh because they had heard from people that the arrangement is good, a quilt, cleaning, medicine, but good management can also become a problem, no one imagined it.

Those who took a bath in the confluence, took a dip, they also stayed there, did not want to go. He wanted to see the procession of sage saints, Naga Sadhus. Everyone has a mobile in his hand, he wanted to record this scene in his camera. That is why it became difficult to control the crowd, barricade broke and this accident happened. I will praise the sage saints present in Kumbh city in this matter, he released the video at night and appealed to the people. Explained to the people that take a bath wherever you are, you will get virtue. Second, he postponed his nectar bath, first let people take bath.

The management of Yogi Adityanath, coordination between the central and state government and the impact of the administration on the land also appeared in a few hours. In the Fiza of Sangam city, the enthusiasm of the devotees again started appearing. Since the bathing of the akhadas was postponed, millions of devotees took a dip without any fear, without any fear. India TV correspondent met the people of India in the crowd of devotees, some came to Karnataka, some Kerala, some Himachal, and some came with the whole family from Assam. The motive was to take a dip in the confluence on Mauni Amavasya.

Sadhu saints always show the way to society. By breaking the tradition in Mahakumbh, the saints presented the ideal by giving the general public a chance to bathe first, for this, there should be a greeting of Acharyas, Mahamandaleshwar, all saintly saints. But the sad thing is that the leaders of political parties made this tragic accident an issue of politics. As soon as the news of the accident came, all the opposition parties, including the Samajwadi Party and the Congress, attacked Yogi. Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Priyanka Gandhi, Mayawati, Sharad Pawar’s party and Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena whipped the Yogi government for this incident. Akhilesh Yadav demanded to hand over the management of Mahakumbh to the army. Rahul Gandhi said that VIP should be stopped.

Most of the leaders say that this incident happened that the entire administration was engaged in the reception of VIPs. This is easy to say and people will easily believe it because people saw the VVIPS bathing very comfortably in the city of Kumbh, their videos went viral, but it would be wrong to connect the unfortunate incident that happened at night with VIP syndrome.

The VIP movement was completely banned on the occasion of Mouni Amavasya bath. On the occasion of Amrit bathing all the VIPs were canceled and this system is very old.

Experts said that when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the Prime Minister in 1954, he went to take a dip in Kumbh on the day of royal bath. About a thousand people were casualties in the stampede at that time. At the same time, the rule was made that the VIP movement will be banned on the day of royal bath. But this history, this explanation is for politics.

These things are of no use to those people who have lost their loved ones in this accident. We can express condolences to such people. The injured can wish to get well quickly. Can appeal to the government to manage more carefully. Mother can pray to Ganga to give your devotees the power to bear this sorrow. (Rajat Sharma)
