Devotees were being allowed to enter the temple one by one by lining up. Because of which a 1.5 to 2 kilometer long line was formed outside the temple. Devotees had to stand in line for one to one and a half hours to have darshan of their adorable Banke Bihari. At the same time, due to the heat, the elderly and children were in a bad condition.

At 8:00 in the morning, a long line started on the ISKCON road even beyond the Hari Nikunj intersection. The devotees kept moving towards the temple with the help of the line and started reaching the street of the temple. But due to improper arrangement of barricading, the situation started deteriorating and there was even a scuffle between the devotees.
The crowd of devotees was such that about one and a half to 2 kilometer long line was formed in the barricading outside the temple. And on the other hand, due to the heat, the health of the children, women and elders in the line started deteriorating. All the devotees returned without having darshan and while returning, kept cursing the chaos of the administration. Due to Sunday being today, more crowd can gather in the temple.
