The celebration of Dahi Handi celebrated after Shri Krishna Janmashtami in Maharashtra is known for its passion, adventure and huge crowd. But this year the festival continued to witness a big and dreadful accident. During a grand Dahi Handi program held in Thane, the stage suddenly broke up, on which Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde (Eknath Shinde) and many other leaders and activists were present.
Thankfully, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde narrowly escaped in this accident and a big tragedy was averted. This incident has once again raised serious questions about security arrangements and strengthening of infrastructure in such big public events.
What is the whole matter: How this dangerous accident happened?
The incident is of Thane, considered the stronghold of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, where he came to attend a Dahi Handi program as the chief guest. The celebration of Dahi Handi was at its peak, the enthusiasm of Govinda groups was on the sky and there was a huge crowd of local leaders and organizers to welcome the Chief Minister on the stage.
According to eyewitnesses, more people climbed more than the capacity on the stage. Meanwhile, when the Chief Minister was greeting the people, a part of the stage collapsed with a loud voice. On seeing this, many people, including CM Shinde, who were present on the stage, lost their balance and fell down.
Soon after this incident, there was chaos and screaming. The security personnel and the police immediately came into action and took the Chief Minister in a safe circle and tried to handle the situation.
Chief Minister, who survived narrowly, questions raised on a huge security lapse
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde did not suffer any serious injury in this accident, which is being considered a big miracle. Some other leaders and activists present with him have suffered minor injuries, who were immediately taken for first aid.
However, the incident highlights a huge and serious lapse in security. This incident has raised many important questions:
- Why more crowd than capacity?: The biggest question is that when VVIP is present, why were people allowed to climb more than capacity on the stage?
- The strength of the stage was investigated?: Did the organizers of the program examine the Load-Bearing Capacity? Was the material used to make it quality?
- Failing in mob management: Why did the organizers and local police fail to control the crowd around the stage?
It is believed that a high -level inquiry into the matter can be ordered and action can also be taken against those responsible for negligence.
Dahi Handi and politics in Maharashtra
It is important to note that Dahi Handi in Maharashtra, especially Mumbai and Thane is not just a festival, but also a platform for a big political power. Political parties and leaders organize big curd handi programs, in which prizes of crores of rupees are kept. Through these events, leaders increase their popularity and strengthen their hold among the public. Eknath Shinde himself has been considered one of the biggest organizers of Dahi Handi in Thane politics.
This incident is a warning that security should never be ignored between passion and celebration, especially when thousands of people are at stake. At the moment, the news of CM Shinde being secured gave everyone a sigh of relief.
