Kamakhya Temple Implements New Rules to Manage Crowd During Ambubachi Mela
Guwahati: Kamakhya Temple in Assam has announced new regulations for devotees during the Ambubachi Mela. According to Assam Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah, devotees will now have to leave the premises if they plan to move towards the main sanctum after 9 pm to prevent overcrowding.
After conducting a review meeting at the Kamakhya Temple on June 10, Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah informed the media about the decision. The authorities will close the route for devotees heading towards the main sanctum after 9 pm, and it will only reopen at 5 am the next day.
