Deoband | Saharanpur, Shivaratri is coming on 2nd August. Only Kanwariyas carrying water from Haridwar are seen on the roads. Even the humid heat is not able to stop their steps. The movement of vehicles on the entire Kanwar route is completely stopped. ATS has been deployed in Saharanpur for security. More than one crore Kanwariyas are expected to leave from Saharanpur and two to two and a half crore Kanwariyas will leave from Muzaffarnagar. Seva camps have been set up at various places on the Kanwar route. Where Kanwariyas rest and get treatment from doctors and then move forward. Shiv devotees also perform Jalabhishek at the temple of Mankeshwar Mahadev located in village Manki in Deoband area of ​​Saharanpur. Where a self-manifested Shivling is installed. CO Deoband Ashok Sisodia said that all the necessary facilities have been made for the convenience of Kanwariyas at Mankeshwar Mahadev temple and strict security arrangements have also been made. Keep in mind that Deoband is a very sensitive area from communal point of view. But the attitude of the people of the Muslim community is also very positive and reverent. There is no possibility of any kind of clash or riot in the near future. Still the police-administration is taking full caution and precaution. Due to the Kanwar Yatra, road traffic has come to a standstill, people are facing difficulties and the pressure of passengers on trains has increased. Due to the humid heat, people are suffering from viral fever. The crowd at the doctors' clinic has increased. There are still three-four days left for the Jalabhishek. But the power supply is not smooth even though Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had given strict instructions to provide 24-hour power supply during this period but the power officials have failed in this test. This shows that the government has some other intention and the administration is continuing with the same careless attitude. In Saharanpur district also many Kanwariyas have died in accidents. Whereas the police administration had made big claims to stop this. All their statements have proved to be useless.
