Dausa : a big negligence of the employees of the electricity department came to light on Saturday late evening in the famous Asthadham Mehndipur Balaji of the district. In such a situation, there was a stampede among the devotees standing in the evening aarti of Balaji Maharaj, due to which the lives of thousands of devotees came in danger. Let us tell you that on Saturday at around 7 pm, thousands of devotees from all corners of the country were present in the evening aarti of Balaji Maharaj in the Mehndipur Balaji town of the district. During this time it was raining lightly. Then suddenly a power line passing above right in front of the Balaji temple caught fire. During the incident of fire, there was a stampede among the devotees standing in the aarti. However, it was fortunate that no devotee was injured during the stampede. At the same time, the local people informed the electricity employees about the incident of fire in the power line for a long time and stopped the power supply.
The devotees standing for the aarti got scared…
Seeing the explosion and continuous fire in the power line, the policemen of Balaji police station and the security personnel of the temple trust present on the spot immediately took charge. They stopped the devotees from going under the power line, due to which a big accident was averted. But the devotees standing for the aarti got scared due to the fire incident.
Such incidents have happened before, but no lessons were learnt
Actually, such accidents have happened many times in the electricity line passing near Balaji temple. But the department officials are waiting for a big accident. It is worth mentioning that former Governor Kalraj Mishra had visited Mehandipur Balaji a few days ago. During this, the power line caught fire about 10 minutes after the former Governor left Balaji. But the electricity department officials did not learn a lesson from this. In such a situation, the negligence of the department can invite a big accident someday. In the case, Junior Engineer Sunil Kumar said that the power line will be repaired soon.
