Haridwar: A large number of people took a holy dip in the Ganga river on the occasion of Chitra Purnima in the ongoing Kumbh Mela in Haridwar on Tuesday.
People were seen flouting COVID-19 regulations as they were not wearing face masks and were also not maintaining social distance. The last ‘shahi snan’ of Kumbh Mela is also taking place today.
The first Shahi Snan was held on March 11 on the occasion of Mahashivratri, while the second and third were held on April 12 and 14.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had appealed on April 17 that the Kumbh Mela “should now only be symbolic amid the coronavirus crisis”, stressing that it would give a boost to the fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In response, Swami Avdheshanand replied, “We respect PM Modi’s appeal. Saving lives is sacred. I request people to not gather for the ritual bath in large numbers and follow all Covid protocols.”

Why did not government take action against these who are breaking the rules . isn’t there corona? . Is it only in masjids mosques and other religious places especially of Islamic .
Government shows here that India is not secular and doesn’t treat all religions equally .
Government has put curfew on Jummah prayer in many states in this holy month of Ramadan but is not curbing these programs of Hindu religion.
And these are the Side effects of having a government affiliated with a religion !
Every true person of science must have already realized that the current government is totally antiscience and anti modern medicine , the very moment when it took the pseudoscience to the ministry level and gave birth to ministry of AYUSH 👏👏 .
And we have a joker in the place of union health minister , an actual medical doctor, who is too worried of researches not being conducted for cow science, amidst this pandemic . 👏👏
Sheesh…..this group alone will sink the entire country.
