More than 30 lakh devotees are claimed to have taken a dip in the shahi bath at Haridwar Kumbh on Monday, but despite the presence of such a large number of people, most of the shrines, hotels, inns and ashrams remain empty and the vehicles coming from the border Entry was also very limited. In such a big question, if so many people come, where do they come from?
On Monday, the administration claimed the bathing of more than 30 lakh people on Somvati Amavasya, but surprisingly, despite such a large number of people, most of the dharmashalas, hotels, inns and ashrams remained empty.
In Haridwar, Uttarakhand, the government and the fair administration are making big claims regarding Mahakumbh. On Monday, the administration claimed the bathing of over 30 lakh people on Somvati Amavasya, but surprisingly, despite such a large number of people, most of the dharmashalas, hotels, inns and ashrams remained empty and the trains coming from the border Entry was also very limited. In such a big question, if so many people come, where do they come from?
According to Vibhash Mishra, associated with the hotel association, most of his hotels remained empty from Sunday till the hotel. Then from where did these millions of people come for a bath, now this is the question. Dharamshala Association has a similar argument.
On the day of Somvati Amavasya on 12 April, the police told the official number of bathers in and around Haridwar 31 lakh 23 thousand, while only 349 people in the government’s online registration portal registered Monday to come to Kumbh. Was If we consider the figures of online registration, then only fifteen to two thousand devotees reached Haridwar on Monday. Whereas 357 passenger trains, which were not agreed to bring the Kovid test at the border or to do the Kovid test, were turned upside down, in which there were 2758 people. While the number of trains coming to Haridwar was 6538, in which more than 30 thousand passengers rushed to Haridwar.
Haridwar arrived from different cities of the country on Monday. Nearly eight thousand passengers reached Haridwar by 17 trains. While only fifteen hundred passengers reached Haridwar by buses. In this context, if the forgotten people are also added, then this figure can reach one lakh. The number of devotees coming to Haridwar on the Sunday before Monday remained the same. In such a situation, where are the figures of bathing of more than 30 lakh pilgrims released by the fair administration and where have these pilgrims gone, questions are being raised.
IG Sanjay Gunjyal, associated with Mahakumbh preparations, claims that he had arranged one crore 80 lakh passengers. People came much less than anticipated, so the number of devotees seemed small. According to Gunjayal, people took a bath from Haridwar to Rishikesh on the occasion of Mahakumbh. Therefore this figure has reached more than 30 lakhs.
