There will be no procession in Nalanda today, there was a violent clash last year, this time strict instructions have been issued.

Nalanda Ram Navami Shobha Yatra: No procession will be taken out today (April 18) regarding Ramnavmi procession in Nalanda. There was an incident of violent clash during the Ram Navami procession in Bihar Sharif last year, in view of which strict instructions have been issued this time. After strict instructions from the district administration and SP, Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad have decided not to take out the procession. On Wednesday (April 17) evening, SP and DM also conducted a flag march.

For years, after the flag hoisting on Ram Navami in Bihar Sharif, a huge procession was taken out in the city. Last year, stones were pelted at a procession by anarchist elements near Gagan Diwan in Laheri police station area. Due to this there was a stampede. Not only this, many vehicles were also burnt. Internet was disrupted for a week. Many shops in the city were set on fire.

What did SP Ashok Mishra say,

SP Ashok Mishra said that there is no ban on taking out the procession. License will have to be obtained as per rules. There will have to be 20 volunteers for a crowd of 200. Everyone’s Aadhar card will have to be given. Not many people will go together to the area where the violent incident took place. It is difficult even for the volunteers to keep the crowd of lakhs disciplined.

SP said that it is the responsibility of the volunteers to maintain miking, chariot and discipline of the crowd. Volunteers cannot discipline a crowd of two-two and a half lakh people. It is difficult for the police to control a large crowd. There is a complete ban on playing DJ, displaying swords and sticks in the procession. At present, a large number of police forces have been deployed in the city. Flag marches are being conducted continuously in the city. No application for license for the procession has been received in the city.

Bajrang Dal convenor Kundan Kumar said that this time permission is being given to 200 people by the district administration. In this, instructions were given to submit the Aadhar cards of 20 people. Reference is being made to the incident that happened last year. Following all these rules, this time a huge procession will not be taken out in Bihar Sharif. It is impossible to follow the guidelines.
