Despite COVID restrictions in the country, women in large numbers gathered to offer prayers at a temple in the Ahmedabad district. The video of the same surfaced online and it drew a lot of attention as well as criticism. As soon as it went viral, the officials have acted on 23 people responsible for the same, including the village Sarpanch.
Going into the details, over 500 women gathered in a village called Navpura of Ahmedabad district to offer prayers at the Baliyadev temple. Carrying water pots on their heads, they all walked towards the temple. None in the video wore masks. There were also several men seen in the video and no safety precaution has been taken by them.
