There was a commotion due to the sighting of a crocodile
As soon as the information of crocodiles in the river at Sethani Ghat was received, there was a stir among the local people and the administration. In view of the festive season, the administration is scared due to the high movement of people on the ghat. Because the administration is constantly advising the devotees coming here to avoid bathing and worshiping at the ghat. For this, the administration has put up a flex board on the ghat, along with this, all security arrangements have been made by the administration. Despite all this, devotees risk their lives and reach the ghat for bathing.
