Such was the condition in Jai Singhpura…

Thousands of devotees who arrived on Monday for Nagchandreshwar and Mahakal darshan were troubled for hours. Apart from the general queue, there was a system of darshan from other gates as well, but for the first time a big communication gap came to the fore. For the first time, it was seen that at every gate, the police personnel and the private guards of the security agency of Mahakal temple were only trying to stop, no one was ready to tell where to go for darshan and how to stop. Where is the return from?

Because of this people got very upset. At many places, people lost their temper and pushed themselves up to the barricades. On many points people had arguments with the police and private security guards. This situation was created due to lack of coordination between police, administration and temple committee. For this reason people kept getting worried even after reaching inside the temple. The police officers on duty were not informed as to who should be allowed and who should be stopped.

Kept going for darshan with family from opposite direction, no one to stop

For Nagchandreshwar darshan on Monday where thousands of people stood in line for hours to have a glimpse of the Lord. On the other hand, in government vehicles of police-administrative officers, their families and relatives kept coming on the way to Madhav Sewa Nyas. Meanwhile, the family members of government officers and employees kept entering in the opposite direction from the exit which was made for the devotees after visiting Nagchandreshwar. There was no one to stop them.

Nagchandreshwar, Mahakaleshwar and Sawari were made for the devotees coming to visit. Due to the rain, mud spread in the parking lots. The traffic police immediately changed the parking plan in the night itself and got the vehicles parked on the roadside near Harifatak Mannat Garden and Imperial. On the other hand, vehicles coming from Nagda Marg including Agar Road, Badnagar-Badnavar had to be parked on the roadside at Mullapura-Shankaracharya intersection. However, this increased the difficulty of the police. The crowd was so large that many routes in the city were jammed during the ride.

Due to the mud at the parking lots, it took a lot of effort to get roadside parking done on the main roads. On Monday, there was a long queue of vehicles on the said routes. Here, there was facility of movement for VIPs and police officers from Begambagh via Madhav Sewa Nyas Marg. So many VIP vehicles gathered here that there was a jam.

Vehicles of many officials from the Divisional Commissioner to Municipal Corporation and Police-Administration came out crawling from here. And in the meantime, this was the route for the bhajan troupes and artistes coming for the ride, they also had to struggle a lot to reach the temple from Begambagh via Madhav Seva Nyas. According to traffic police station in-charge Dilipsingh Parihar, eight to nine lakh people came till evening and parking was provided on the roadside due to mud at the parking places due to rain. The crowd was huge, yet all arrangements were made under the alternate plan.

The administration had issued a large number of passes for Nagchandreshwar Darshan. Chardham, there was arrangement for entry from Dharamshala of Bhil Samaj, but from morning till evening they kept trying to enter such nearby temple.
