Ravana Effigy Falls in Jalandhar, Screams Erupt. Neck Broken by Strong Wind, Burning to Take Place at 20 Locations, Effigy of Terrorism Will Also Be Burnt.
The neck of the Ravana effigy, erected at the Dussehra Ground in Leather Cantonment, suddenly broke. Suddenly, strong black clouds covered the sky, and strong winds began to blow, along with light drizzle. Due to the strong winds, the Ravana effigy fell flat on its face. During this time, many people were worshipping the effigy. Many others were busy taking selfies. As soon as the effigy fell, there were screams among these people, and everyone ran away. A person who was standing on a scooter near the effigy was also partially hit but suffered only minor injuries.
The effigy was miraculously re-erected after the weather improved a little later.
It has been reported that the Sai Das School will burn an effigy that is 100 feet tall. The Mahakali Mandir Dussehra Committee will make these arrangements. At 6 PM, Ravana will be set ablaze at Sai Das School and wherever else. Tableaux (processions) depicting Ravana and his army, Lord Ram, Sita, and Lakshman will be removed prior to this.
Police will be stationed at intersections, and routes will be rerouted.
To maintain a seamless traffic system during Dussehra at Sai Das School, traffic cops will be stationed on Mai Hira Gate Road and Patel Chowk. For this, the traffic police have already released advice. During Dussehra, there won’t be any road closures in the city, but police will be stationed at every crossroads to prevent cars from entering from the incorrect side. For the Ravana burning, no prominent figure is travelling to the city.
Kumbhakarna, which is 80 feet tall, and Meghnad, which is 70 feet tall, will be constructed.
At Sai Das School, Dussehra will be celebrated with great enthusiasm. Along with Ravana, effigies of Pakistani terrorism and Lanka will also be burnt, according to Gopal Gupta, general secretary, and Tarsem Kapur, president of the Shri Mahakali Mandir Dussehra Committee. The heights of the effigies of Meghnad, Kumbhakarna, and Ravana will be 70, 80, and 100 feet, respectively. The Ram-Ravana army will consist of over 200 artists.
There will be a procession prior to Ravana Dahan (burning).
The form of Balaji (Hanuman) and the Vanar Sena (Monkey Army) will be the procession’s main attractions. Beginning at the Ancient Mandir (Temple), the parade will travel past Bhero Bazaar, Jammu Chowk, Mai Hira Gate, Circular Road, Sheetla Mandir, Bhagwan Valmiki Gate, and Patel Chowk before arriving at the Sai Das School grounds around 4 PM. For the convenience and safety of the devotees, special preparations will be made on the ground.
