Matsyendranath's chariot will be repaired after stopping for two days

Baikunth Archay, head of Guthi Sansthan Lalitpur, said that since the chariot was very sloppy during pulling, it was decided to stop for two days to repair it. "We have replaced the broken wood in the sanctum where the deity is," he said.

The district police complex has informed that the police are in a state of readiness to prevent possible accidents such as thefts, quarrels and other accidents that may occur during the Rath Jatra, which is celebrated as the longest Jatra in the country. Lalitpur Police Chief SSP Shekhar Khanal said that the police have been deployed with the view of protecting precious idols, precious metals, jewelry, and people's lives during the rush of Rath Yatra. "We have mobilized police in civilian clothes targeting pickpockets and fights that may occur in crowded areas," he said.

Rath Yatra was started from last Saturday.
