00:00Very, very unfortunate and devastating incident that has happened in Shrikaklum, Palasa Venkateshwar Swami Aliam.
00:08Today being an auspicious day, today is Eka Dasid, that is why there has been a sudden surge of extra devotees coming and visiting the temple.
00:17Me, especially our leader Lokesh Anna and all the entire state administration, district administration, everyone,
00:25after knowing the incident under the guidance of our Honorable Chief Minister, we have rushed to the site.
00:30And the priority for us has been to protect as many lives as possible, to give the best medical facilities and the medical help that is required.
00:37And it is very, very unfortunate that nine people have lost their lives.
00:42And further investigation is also going on right now.
00:45And the person who has built the temple, who is a 95-year-old Hari Mukundar Panda,
00:50and with a good intention, with a divine intention, he has built up the temple here.
00:56And he wanted the blessings of Lord Balaji to be available to people at large, especially in the Shrikaklum district.
01:03And it is by word of mouth, because this has been opened four months, and all Saturday being a very important day for Venkateshwara temple.
01:10And in the last four months, we have just checked that the devotees that have been coming was up to 150 and maximum 500,
01:16which is what the capacity seems to be catering for at the temple.
01:20But today, suddenly, in this Eka, the sea, there were people coming in from all directions.
01:25And the temple authorities, temple people who have been managing things till now, they have not intimated the government, they have not intimated the police.
01:33Just whatever traffic was there, the police have tried to manage the traffic.
01:36But inside the temple, there was this sudden chaos for 15-20 minutes, which has led to this untoward incident to be happening.
01:43Very, very unfortunate, but from the government, we are committed to help all the families who have been affected in this government,
01:50both the state and the center.
01:51And in fact, the prime minister also immediately responded.
01:54And he has also announced in excretia the 3 lakhs for the 2 lakhs for the deceased and 50,000 for the grievously injured.
02:02And the state government also, Chandra Babanai, he has announced 15 lakhs for the deceased families
02:08and also around 3 lakhs for the grievously injured.
02:12So we are going to ensure that and whoever needs extended medical care, we are going to ensure that they are properly treated.
02:18And the commitment of the government is that to ensure these kind of incidents doesn't happen.
02:23But we have to see there is a clear difference between the temples which are under the endowments managed by the government.
02:28And there are also private temples.
02:29You see that because of the growing devotion, people by themselves are trying to build temples in their own villages,
02:36in their own communities, in their own vicinities.
02:38Some kind of mechanism definitely needs to be there.
02:41And that is what, under the guidance of the chief minister, the state government is also working on.
02:46This is an experience for all of us.
02:48And definitely we will all ensure that these kind of incidents won't happen again.
02:51Shrikakulm is the most pilgrimous city.
02:53So now this stampyard is happening.
02:55So what type of channel is there?
02:59No, it has always been a pride for us that Shrikakulm being a devotional place and a lot of temples here.
03:04In fact, we wanted to promote religious tourism also here.
03:07We wanted people from not only the district but outside the district, outside, across the world also people should come here.
03:14And that will also be an ongoing priority.
03:16We have some very prestigious temples.
03:18So we have to continue offering all the facilities that are required at the temples.
03:23This shouldn't create any kind of hindrance or any kind of fear for devotees to go to the temples.
03:28So that is something which we will be very careful of.
03:30And on the same side, just like how this has been an experience, a bad experience.
03:34So we have to learn from this and ensure these kind of incidents don't repeat in future.
03:38And that is what our leader Lokesh Giyo has also mentioned here today, that there is going to be a group of ministers who will specifically sit on this,
03:45who will analyse previous incidents, this incident.
03:47And I have said that investigation is also going on.
03:50So more information has to come out.
03:52So they are going to compile all the information.
03:54And with the group of ministers sitting, I hope there are going to be some good SOPs that are going to come out.
03:59Sir, you are working in central government.
04:01Any possible to increase excretion of your health from central government?
04:03I have just told that it is both state and centre working together.
04:08What Prime Minister has announced and what CM has announced.
04:10Anything else that is required, I have assured.
04:12Location has assured that we are all there with the families.
