Many people were injured in a stampede at the Katha VIP gate of Bageshwar Dham Peethadhishwar Dhirendra Shastri in Bhilwara, Rajasthan. The reason for this stampede is said to be the inconvenience caused by not being able to enter despite having a VIP pass. The organizing committee is accused of disorganization and some people complain of a lack of security measures.
The injured woman, Chandrakala Somani, said she had a VIP pass but was stopped at the entrance gate. He said that despite having a VIP pass, they were not allowed to enter. This created chaos there. If we had lost our lives in the midst of such a crowd, whose responsibility would it have been? Chandrakala also alleged that the police misbehaved with her.

At the same time, Baba Mahant Banwarisharan of Kathia, who was present at this event, expressed his displeasure over the arrangements. Accusing the organizing committee of negligence, he stated that the arbitrariness applied to VIP pass holders is wrong. Mahant said security is necessary but there should not be such chaos and arbitrariness. There was no discussion with us about the VIP pass.

Giving a clarification, Katha Committee coordinator Ashish said many people were trying to enter with duplicate VIP passes. For this reason entry had to be prevented. He said that we had issued only a limited number of passes, but that many people made duplicate passes, which caused this chaos.
