The HinduCrowds, safety The ‘run fast, reach first’ attitude and approach have always been a discipline dampener and also a factor in crowd management. Sivanandam, Coimbatore Despite extensive security measures, including hundreds of surveillance cameras, drones, and a command control centre, the incident raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of crowd management during religious festivals in India. The Government of India and the Government of Uttar Pradesh seem to be more interested in the income generated from a pilgrim’s visit than the facilities provided to the visiting millions who do not know where to stay, where to eat, and how to manage as it is a case of crowds, crowds and even more crowds everywhere. P. Swaminatha Krishna, Hyderabad Cricketing honour One can hardly think of a better recipient for the honour of ‘ICC Cricketer of the Year’ prize than Jasprit Bumrah.
