At least 25 artists and media persons including senior government officials including the collector and CDMO of Bargarh district have been reportedly injured during the progress of world famous Dhanuyatra on its third day on Wednesday with the sudden burst out of halogen and bar light near the Yatra pendal. Though no one was seriously wounded, still the incident created a panic among the people watching the event. The injured were taken to the hospital for treatment. It was for the first time such an incident occurred during Dhanuyatra.
“Initially we could not understand. But looking to the broken glass pieces that struck on my face and other part of body, I guessed the actual situation. We were taken to the hospital immediately where we treated. Though injuries were not serious still it was sufficient to panic people’, cameraperson of a news TV channel Ranjan Singhdeo told.
Mythological story that goes as, lord Krishna was taken birth as the 8th issue of Devaki who was prisoned by demon king Kansa after he heard that he was killed in the hand of 8th issue of his sister Devaki. But when lord Krishna took birth no one in the prison was awaked. Basudev, husband of Devaki took lord Krishna to Gopapur crossing the river Jamuna and brought a girl replacing lord Krishna in her place. Kansa rushed to prison soon he heard about the 8th issue of sister Devaki. But he disappointed when he saw a girl child. But he did not want to take a chance and tried to kill the girl child. But the child disappeared from his hand moment before he smashed girl.
So every thing was performed by the artists as per the story. The moment Kansa heard about the 8th issue of Devaki, he rushed to the place. The Samaleswari temple of Bargarh town was the place where organizing committee converted it as the prison of demon king Kansa. Kansa reached the place at about 8.30 pm Wednesday. He was supposed to smash the girl child. He threw the replica of a girl child.
Sources said, the replica hit with a light fitted above the roof of the temple and suddenly the halogen and bar lights fitted nearby were burst out with a cracking sound. The broken pieces sparked out and hit the people standing nearly.
“Several persons got minor injuries with this. We took them to the hospital. Situation is under control. However it would not affect the functioning of the Dhanuyatra”, SP (Bargarh) Surya Thankappan told.
On the other hand, people believe that such an incident took place because of the negligent attitude of the organizing committee. “I think it was accidental but for the satisfaction I have directed to investigate the matter to know the exact circumstance of the occurrence”, collector (Bargarh) and chairman of the organizing committee SP Padhi told.
