A major accident was averted during burning the effigy of Ravana on the occasion of Vijaya Dashami in the grounds of Government Inter College located in Muzaffarnagar.
After the effigies of Ravana, Meghnath and Kumbhakaran as well as that of “Corona-asur” were lighted with fire, the firecrackers in the effigies suddenly started falling among the public. Due to which, there was an atmosphere of panic in the public. People who came to the fair started running here and there to save themselves from harm. In the video it can be seen how the explosives are coming out of the effigies and falling among the public. Thankfully, no one was injured in this incident.
And that’s not all. During the pandemonium, a stray bull also entered the field, which induced an atmosphere of panic among the people. After a lot of effort, the stray bovine was taken out of the field by the police and common people.
An eyewitness named Palak Arora, who came to the program of Ravana Dahan, said that when Ravana was burnt and fireworks started, there was panic. But as soon as the fireworks ended, everything was fine. However, due to a bull’s entry into the area, there was chaos again.
