Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

SIMPLE SOLUTION for STEMPEDE ( call it #3S )



Yesterday , some 717 persons died in a stampede during Hajj pilgrimage at Mecca

In 1990 , some 1400 had died at the same place in another stampede

This phenomenon repeats itself at regular interval , at most holy places around the World , but especially in countries with poor arrangements for handling of millions of people , in a small place , over a short time

Saudi Arabia has , over the past few years , vastly improved its facilities for coping with 3 million pilgrims walking thru Mecca , in one week

But , given its vast resources , it can certainly do much better

Stampedes occur when , in a narrow path , some people make a run ( rush ) , for whatever reason , trying to overtake people in front walking normally

The surest - and the safest - way to prevent stampede is :

Simply ensure no one can outrun persons walking in front  !

Eminently possible !

Just install , one above another ( vertically ) , several rope-ways with hanging chairs for 2 persons per chair , safely secured by belts

All rope-ways picking up pilgrims at the Boarding Station and then dropping off at the Disembarkation Station , on the opposite side

Each platform on either side of the Rock of Satan

Each rope-way moving at variable speeds controlled by CONTROL ROOM

Pilgrims throwing stones from above on the Rock of Satan , from their chairs

Stones being collected automatically in moving conveyors and delivered to a hopper in the STONE LOADING ZONE , for loading onto the moving chairs

Like a pin-ball machine , each chair carrying 7*2 pre-loaded stones

At other places , this concept of horizontally moving conveyors carrying stationary persons , can be replicated with some variations

Given the wealth of Saudi Arabia , the rope-ways or horizontally moving conveyors , can even be enclosed in air-conditioned glass tubes , from which , pilgrims can view all holy places without leaving their chairs !

And they can throw stones at the Satan , by simply pressing a button on the right hand arm rest of their chair !

This automatic arrangement will make it possible for the Authorities enable sick / old / children to perform the pilgrimage !

It may even attract visitors from all over the World (including non-muslims ) to travel to Mecca , around the year !

Annual income of the Kingdom would go up from $ 4.5 billion to $ 10 billion !


Will Dr Mahesh Sharma ( Minister for Tourism / Govt of India ) , consider this idea for Maha-Kumbh Mela / Tirupati / Sai Dham , Shirdi / Sinhasth  Kumbh , Nasik etc  ?


May be Shri Narendra Modi , while talking to American CEOs in San Jose today , convince them to come forward with an investment of $ 5 billion at our holy places , to transform Make in India into Incredible India  !
