What’s happening in Haridwar Uttarakhand seems to be complete lawlessness despite the police doing their best to counter and arrest the culprits. The rush and frenzy of Kanwariyas have started in Haridwar where lakhs of Kanwariyas arrive from Delhi, Haryana and NCR including from various parts of the country to collect pious water of Ganges and carry them back to their respective temples near their homes as a mark of reverence towards their deities Lord Shiva and mother Ganga.
But unfortunately , several incidents of hooliganism, unwanted violence hurting people and damaging vehicles ruthlessly not even sparing policemen and their vehicles with no fear of law, at times, have come to light.
In view of the Kanwariya’s anger and ruthlessness and heavy numbers, sometimes even policemen have to run away from the scene to safeguard themselves.
The point is, accompanying pious Ganges water from holy township Haridwar on foot after covering hundreds of kilometres is an act of ethical pious sacrifice at the feet of Lord Shiva and Mother Ganga , then what’s the need of violence. Spiritualism gives the message of tranquility, tolerance, patience and goodness towards each and every human being, not provoke us towards violent activities harming others and creating nuisance in the society.
But unfortunately, these violent acts are taking place at Haridwar, Rishikesh and other locations where the angered Kanwariyas are thrashing people on the way and damaging vehicles ruthlessly with no fear of law and law enforcing agencies.
In Haridwar two such incidents of open violence have taken place one at Badrabad where the police have arrested several Kanwariyas for violent activities in open public glare.
In another incident when a vehicle slightly touched a Kanwariya in a rush filled crowded road , a group of Kanwariyas became tremendously violent and damaged a Scorpio of Patwari with sticks damaging the body of the vehicles , breaking all window panes and trying to overturned the vehicle.
The video of the angered Kanwariyas repeatedly hitting the vehicle ( Scorpio) of Patwari with sticks breaking the window panes badly and trying to overturn it is going viral giving a look of hooligans with Tshirts exhibiting trident of Lord Shiva and raising slogans hailing Shiva on social media.
The occupants of the vehicles including the Patwari seem to have clandestinely run away otherwise they would have been badly injured reveal sources.
The lawlessness in Haridwar as reported earlier too, is going out of hand despite the vigilant police under the able and effective monitoring and supervision of Mr. Dobhal SSP doing its best to arrest such culprits who under the cover of being ardent Lord Shiva devotees are taking laws in their hands. Not a day is passed when incidents of lawlessness don’t appear in the social media platform relating to the violent acts of some law violating Kanwariyas at Haridwar and other parts of Uttarakhand. This is really condemnable and uncalled for.
Meanwhile, the vigilant Haridwar police has exhibited tremendous energetic response and arrested the four Kanwariya’s ( culprits ) of Bhadrabad, Haridwar under stringent sections of the law for damaging the Mariti car and threatening its occupants prior to the incident of ruthlessly damaging Scorpio of the Patwari in open public glare with no fear of the law of the law enforcing agencies.
