Tragedies at Ghaggar Bipin Bhardwaj Tribune News Service
Dera Bassi, August 4 Even a recent tragedy in which two young men from Faidan village in Chandigarh died while bathing adjacent to Markanday temple failed to move the administration for installing warning boards along the Ghaggar river. Taking a note of repeated tragedies Bhankharpur panchayat had installed warning boards on footpaths leading to the river bed on both sides of the Bhankharpur bridge. The warning boards got damaged with time. Surinder Singh, a former sarpanch of the village, was of the view that devotees and children find suitable site for taking bath adjacent to the temple and get trapped in the slippery river bottom. “The visitors ignore warnings and descend in the river as they consider it auspicious to take bath in the river,” claimed Amar Chawala, a Trivedi Camp resident. Sanjiv Kumar, SDM, Dera Bassi, claimed that the administration will install two huge warning boards on the footpaths on both sides of the Bhakharpur bridge over Ghaggar in a day or two. He, however, claimed to have directed the priests of the temple to caution and educate the devotees for not going deep into the river.
