The Mahavir Jhanda is to be 18 feet high and the accompaniments to be 14 feet wide. A press note of the General of the Sri Mahavir Nav Yuvak Dal Jugal Kishore read like this.

Jugal Kishore has urged the Ram Bhakts to adhere to the height and width of the Mahavir Jhandas/ Raths so that Jhandas /Raths can easily navigate the huge Toran Dwar without any problem.

Any more height and width of the Mahabir Jhandas/Rath may pose a problem in negotiating the Toran Dwar.

The 11 Kv overhead electricity wires pass at a height of usually 20 feet from above the ground.

The height of the overhead electricity wires depends on what kind of the electricity poles are as height of overhead electricity wires of the cement electricity poles differ from the height of the overhead electricity wires of the rail electricity poles.

An 18 feet high Mahavir Jhanda is a delicate issue keeping in mind the horror of a tragedy of electrocution here in this festival long long ago when a total of 27 lives were lost then in Daltonganj.

The then a Rath had got in contact with the overhead electricity wires leading to such a great casualty.

Executive engineer electricity Santosh Kumar has appealed to the masses to maintain all norms for safety and avoid totally the hazards of electricity.

Santosh Kumar informed there was coming up a Toran Dwar just one palm away from the jumble of the overhead electricity wires prompting him to warn the Toran Dwar makers to be mindful of the hazards of the electricity wires.

Height and hazards of the overhead electricity wires vary from the road side to crossing of the road and hence more care and caution are a must to remind the executive engineer of electricity.

The executive engineer of electricity added "Celebrate this grand festival in grand way but not at the cost of safety of your own life and lives of many more people."

"Bijli bijli hai. There is caution all the time. And no body has any business of throwing the note of caution to the wind" reiterated Santosh Kumar.

Sources said people move with naked swords and have no hesitation in snapping or cutting the overhead electricity wires if the wires come in their way.

Santosh Kumar made a passionate appeal to all the stakeholders to be extremely vigilant about such things in the larger interest of the public safety.
