Sehore: A flood of devotees gathered at Amli Ghat on Somvati Amavasya, poor traffic system killed

Sehore Aonli Ghat Traffic Jam: Today, on the holy festival of Somvati Amavasya, a huge crowd of devotees gathered at Amli Ghat, the famous Narmada bank of Sehore district. Since morning, thousands of people are coming to take a dip of faith in Mother Narmada.

However, due to heavy crowd and poor traffic system, there has been a huge traffic jam on the Amli Ghat road for the last several hours, due to which the devotees are facing a lot of trouble.

Children and women trapped between scorching sun and humidity

The situation remains very serious on the main road connecting Amli Ghat. Devotees, women and children have been stuck in vehicles for hours amidst the scorching sun and humidity. The situation of the traffic jam is such that even two-wheelers are not able to find space to move out.

Expressing his pain, a devotee stuck in the traffic jam said:

“We are stuck in the traffic jam with the family since 6 in the morning. The children are suffering from the heat and are suffering. Every year there is a crowd on Amavasya, but this time no proper arrangement for route diversion or parking has been made by the administration. There are no arrangements for drinking water and protection from the sun here.”

The problem of traffic jam amidst the dip of virtue

According to religious beliefs, bathing in Narmada and charity on Somvati Amavasya has special significance. For this reason, a large number of people from many nearby districts including Sehore had left for Aanwali Ghat early in the morning. But the pressure of vehicles on the main road leading to the ghat suddenly increased, resulting in a convoy of vehicles several kilometers long.

Police forces are deployed to control the traffic, but all the arrangements are proving to be dwarf in front of the huge number of vehicles.
