7 Lame Excuses and 7 Improvements @Kanchipuram for Lord Athi Varadar Darshan

-
My earlier post @ https://innovationinbanking.blogspot.com/2019/07/lord-athi-varadar-arises-after-40-years.html



The death of 4 devotees while waiting for darshan of Lord Athi Varadar jolted the administration, to have a closer look at infrastructure for the Lord Athi Varadar Teerth Yatra.

The administration missed all the indicators for a urgent revamping of the infrastructure.

There was absolutely no need for the administrations to rely on 3rd party feedback.
The swelling crowds on the streets, the growing demand for VIP passes, the increasing visits of VVIPs should have altered the administration to ramp up the infrastructure.

These cannot be termed as excuses

Lame Excuse 01) On normal days, the average number of devotees will not be more than 50,000

Lame Excuse 02) On week days, the average number of devotees will not be more than 70,000

Lame Excuse 03) On auspicious days, the average number of devotees will not be more than 70,000

Lame Excuse 04) Devotees from other States are not interested in Lord Athi Varadar darshan

Lame Excuse 05) Devotees from other countries are not interested in Lord Athi Varadar darshan

Lame Excuse 06) There will be less demand for VIP and VVIP Passes

Lame Excuse 07) Devotees will have darshan of Lord Athi Varadar only and will not be interested in praying to other Gods within the temple complex.

Improvement 01) Deployment of a greater number of police force

Improvement 02) Deployment of a greater number of ambulances and medical teams

Improvement 03) Deployment of a greater number of volunteers to streamline the surging devotees

Improvement 04) Arrangements to distribute food packets and water to devotees moving in the queues for darshan of Lord Athi Varadar

Improvement 05) Visit of top officials for on the ground reality check. Chief Secretary K. Shanmugam and DGP J.K. Tripathy made a late-night visit couple of days back to study the situation and apprise the government of ground realities.

Improvement 06) Devotees being released in batches towards Lord Athi Varadar, i.e similar to procedure followed in other major temples.

Improvement 07)  Appeal by Kanchipuram Collector to keep in mind their health, before planning for Lord Athi Varadar darshan.
