Wondering if this Rath Yatra would be a good season to die
in Puri. Insurance for accidental deaths including drowning has been increased
from .1 million to half a million rupees. I am sure the incomplete drains,
disastrous sewer network and other half way through infrastructure would be a
good cause of drowning, more probable if it rains during the festival when
millions will be crowding the city.
And well, death due to adulterated food and contaminated
water should also be covered under this insurance scheme that is available to
pilgrims between July 17 and July 30.
Then, the temple administration couldn't complete the
Effluent Treatment Plant by June 30 deadline. Lord Jagannath may eat clean( I m
not sure though) prashad but bhakts have to bear the brunt of untreated kitchen
waste from his temple. Mind it, no small kitchen this. It generates 50 KL of
waste water daily.
It is said a death can't be holier than when it happens it
in the Dhams!
