Mass Devotion Leads to Metro Chaos: Delhi's Mahashivpuran Katha Commotion
The Mahashivpuran Katha event in Delhi led to massive crowds and traffic disruptions. Metro stations in Rohini were swamped, causing the authorities to restrict entry. This isn't the first time events by the religious preacher Pradeep Mishra have caused similar chaos across various cities.

Massive crowds converged at metro stations in Delhi's Rohini area on Thursday as devotees returned from a religious gathering featuring Pradeep Mishra's Mahashivpuran Katha. Entry was restricted due to the overwhelming number of attendees.
Located on the Red Line, stations such as Rithala became scenes of chaos, with Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officials employing ropes to control the influx. These restrictions resulted in metro premises becoming congested, while traffic on adjacent roads was paralyzed over a stretch of 2 kilometers.
This incident echoes past events headlined by Mishra, which have similarly caused disruptions in cities like Jaipur and Pune. Authorities in Delhi are considering traffic diversions to manage the situation.
