Four days have elapsed since a chunk of stone plummeted from the hillock adjacent to the Gupt Godavari temple in Chitrakoot, Satna, Madhya Pradesh, yet the temple remains sealed off. This closure has left thousands of worshippers disheartened. Following the rainwater infiltration, a massive stone tumbled within the temple complex.
District administration officials affirmed that an investigation team would be dispatched to examine the incident; however, devotees remain eager to learn the timeline for the inquiry's arrival. Initially, the source revealed that three substantial stones were situated in close proximity to the Shiva temple. Subsequently, a 40-kilogram stone plowed into the vicinity of the staircase located within the cave temple in the Khatkhata region.
Upon discovering a fissure in the stone beneath the Ram Darwar, the sub-divisional magistrate of Majhgawan decreed the closure of the cave, prioritizing the safety of devotees. District administration officials pledged that the cave would reopen subsequent to the conclusion of the inquiry. Gupt Godavari continues to serve as a revered religious and tourist destination in Satna.
The absence of a specific inquiry date has left visitors and local traders feeling disheartened. Meanwhile, the Congress party's protest against the alleged irregularities in the voter list persists in Bhopal, with police employing water cannons to maintain order; a video documenting the scene has surfaced.
