Though the temple committee made elaborate arrangements for the devotees, but due to the crowd, the arrangements proved insufficient. The temple has thousands of devotees every year, but this time due to the Corona crisis, the temple committee appealed to the devotees. Deputy Commissioner Shivdular Singh Dhillon says that a notice will be sent to the temple managers regarding how such a large number of devotees reached the temple.
