Crowd
Control Steps Help Bring Back Some Order in Ayodhya …. Eco Times / 25 Jan 2024
Extract :
Yogi Adityanath held a
meeting on Tuesday with the local administration and the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi
Teerth Kshetra to review arrangements. The CM directed officials to implement a
queue system and create holding areas
for darshan.
My Take :
Dear Shri Yogi Adityanathji ,
cmup@nic.in / yogiadityanath72@gmail.com
At best , Queue systems could only be a temporary
solution for controlling the number of pilgrims which are expected to visit
Ayodhya in near future . Current estimate is 2 lakh / day , gradually rising to
5 lakh / day , by the year end . And many times more over next years
A queue, no matter how orderly , implies people WALKING
. And a queue , in front of Shri Ram Mandir could easily stretch for 10 Km (
10,000 meters ) , even if only 10,000 persons are occupying ONE METER length of
that queue
And , when a person ( in that queue ) reaches in front
of the idol , she would FREEZE for at least 30 seconds ( ½ minute ) , before
being pushed ahead by people from behind . Hence the 10,000th person
at the end of that queue will need to stand for 5,000 minutes { 83 hours } !
Now imagine if , that queue has to hold 50,000
persons !
Ropeways / Conveyors
/ Horizontal Escalators ( running at constant speed and may be in
bucket seats mounted one on top of another – ie. several stacks – or stacked
one behind another like rows of seats in a theatre ) , are the ONLY permanent
and fool-proof solutions
In absence of such INFRASTRUCTURE
INNOVATION , stampedes – and consequent deaths – could not be ruled out
In
fact , probability is quite high
Agreed , no one could be blamed when this happens ( it
is not a question of “ if this happens )
. It could not be considered an “ Act of Commission “
But it would most certainly be considered , an “ Act of
Omission “{ not to Act , knowing well , something terrible is likely to happen
}
I am sure , your government would implement my
suggestion detailed in my following email of yesterday :
