we have been seeing stampede deaths in melas/temples/public meetings and now bomb blasts in crowded places, it will be wise for people to take their remedy, by not congregrating in huge numbers , disorganised, such gatherings are prone to be soft targets. even our admisestraters have failed to lay basic rule, to avoid grouping of people beyaond means of their safety,this is a fundamental right of every indian.we have cities/bazars/foot paths/street corners/ every where the public places are encrouched, and the rulers are cause of this soft approach, in making the common man vulnerable. Please uproot all areas which are illegal, where public utilise, we can see the bus stands/rail stations temples/mosques every where illegal encroachments are the Hall mark, and we have hafta collecting leaders and police. But the temple affairs, the hindus , should become wise and avoid mad rush, any rush .the hero of Kurukshetra lord of all lords Sri Krishna, has clearly indicated that if he is worshipped there is no need to follow any demi gods or goddesses, this great epic of Gita is yet to be understood, he follows devotion, and not temples and hundis etc, he is in your home at the family deity, so please be content will such a lovely package he gave thru Arjun.

We have to have policy for all religious gathering in india for all religion...... some basic norms has to be followed.......... Minimum facilities for devoteess, minimum safety, minimum human condition like providing clean drinking water and sanitation......... This is responsibility of all municipalities.....

Right on. Further adding to your thoughts all local citizens and administrations must become responsible. They should adopt the local ownership and responsibilitiy model of the west where evey town/village decides on public events and ensures that there is enough space/oversight/security/cleanliness provided for all events.
