After two deaths, Vrindavan temple wary of year-end rush
Wednesday, 27 December 2023 Six lives have been lost due to overcrowding and suffocation at the Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan. Local authorities attribute the deaths to pre-existing health complications, but devotees are calling for better crowd management and a cap on daily numbers. With a daily average footfall of 50,000 devotees, the temple easily exceeds one lakh on weekends and 5 lakh on festive days. The proposed corridor plan for the temple is facing opposition from traditional priests, residents, and businessmen.
A bus fire on Haryana's KMP Expressway near Nuh killed nearly ten passengers and injured several others early Saturday. The bus, carrying about 60 people from Vrindavan, caught fire after passengers noticed a burning smell. Quick deboarding saved many, but the fire engulfed the bus rapidly. Survivors are receiving treatment, and an investigation is underway.
