Public Demands Route Ban for Non‑Kanwariyas Amid Chaos

As tensions flare, online users vent frustration over unchecked Kanwariya aggression captured in the Haridwar viral video. One user commented, “Is nek kaarya ke liye Shiv ke tathakathit aaradhakon ke sammaan mein Pushpak Vimaan se pushp-vrishti karaai jaaye, taatkaal. 🚁,” sarcastically mocking the glorification of violence. Another user wrote, “Ye punya kamane gaye hain 🤣🤣,” pointing out the irony with humor for these people who came for pilgrimage.

A user expressed concern, “Kawadiyo ke liye ek alag lane banani chahiye... warna ye kisi ko nahi bakshenge, vaise to in logo ko Shiv ka asli matlab bhi nahi pata hoga,” calling for separate lanes for the knawariyas so that no one faces any trouble. Someone added, “This is completely failures of the local administration… offense frequently… and becomes out of control…” blaming the poor governance and mismanagement.
