Administrative apathy was clearly visible at Shyampur Ghat under Kotwali police station area of Munger district. The road leading to Shyampur Ghat suddenly became swampy due to the movement of thousands of devotees just before the Ganges. How much was the swamp that people’s feet were getting stuck. The devotees were falling.
Some were falling with the branch of a super tour, while some were falling with the child. There was an atmosphere of chaos in the movement. The members of the local youth committee were also unaware that the road had become swampy. All of a sudden, due to the swampy surrounding, the members of the youth committee took the lead, somehow people were given diversion. But the diversion road also became swampy. People were reaching the ghat falling.
When the devotee wanted to come back after offering arghya, the swamp grew. Devotees said in one voice that now in the morning they will not come to give fire to this ghat, the entire path is swampy. There is no arrangement. In this regard, Vikas Chandra Yadav of local youth union committee Shyampur said that thousands of devotees walk on the path before the Ganges. The road turned swampy.
Due to which there was trouble in traffic. He said that there was also an atmosphere of chaos. The youth of our committee did not allow any major accident. More than 20000 devotees offer Arghya at Shayampur Chhath Ghat. But here the administrative system was zero. Neither was any arrangement already made by the administration at Chhath Ghat. Nor was any police force or magistrate deputed on the occasion of Chhath.
That is, everything on this ghat was God’s trust. Due to the swampy road, there was no major accident even after that. The local youth did a very good job. As the area turned swampy, the devotees started walking the other way. At the same time, 19-year-old Rahul Kumar, a resident of Niti Bagh, got trapped in the swamp and slowly he started going down. When some people saw it, they made a hue and cry. The members of the local youth union committee pulled out the young man with the help of a rope bamboo bat.
