A million set to throng India’s Ganges for holy dip despite COVID

[Ali_Baba]

Just shows that the Indian goverment is trapped in its own lies about how bad it got last time that it cannot even make the political case to restrict this event this time around "because 4-5million indians did not die at all the last time.."

Lieing all the time about everything always bites you in the *** -

In this respect - Muslims have done better by restricting Hajj and Umrah to token events until the pandemic is over .... and having the common sense to realise why it is important to restrict them until we are over the pandemic phase and move into endemic phase of the virus.

Nearly one million Hindu worshippers are expected to gather on the banks of the Ganges River this Friday and Saturday for a holy bath despite rising COVID-19 infections across the country, an official has told the Reuters news agency.

India on Tuesday reported 168,063 new COVID-19 infections, a 20-fold rise in a month despite testing being well below capacity.

Most infected people have recovered at home and the level of hospitalisations has been less than half of that seen during the last major wave of infections in April and May.

Many states have announced night curfews while the capital New Delhi has also imposed a weekend lockdown, closed private offices as well as restaurants and bars in a bid to rein in the fast-spreading Omicron variant.

But tens of thousands of pilgrims have already reached the site of the annual Ganges ritual on an island in the eastern state of West Bengal, which is reporting the most number of cases in the country after Maharashtra state in the west.

Their religion, their choice.

But, as Muslims we should respect everyone's religions and their beliefs.
