Silchar readies for religious conclave
CACHAR
OUR CORRESPONDENT
Tuesday, December 12, 2006

Dec. 11: The district headquarters town of Silchar is gearing up for its largest ever religious jamboree — the 119th birth anniversary of the Hindu spiritual guru Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra — this Sunday.

The organisers of the event expect a turnout of about one lakh devotees at the mass prayer session and general assembly.

“It will be the region’s largest ever gathering of people at one place at a given time. Besides the neighbouring areas of Karimganj, Hailakandi and North Cachar Hill districts, scores of devotees from the adjoining states of Mizoram, Tripura and Manipur are expected to attend the function,” one of them said.
Police sources said a security blueprint has been drawn up to ensure smooth conduct of the religious assembly.
A large contingent of the forces, including CRPF and India Reserve Battalion personnel, will be deployed along with trained volunteers to control the crowds.

Borda, Thakur’s eldest son and the head of the cult, will lead the rally in.

An anandabazar (free kitchen) with a capacity to serve prasad to 8,000 persons at a time will be set up for the convenience of the devotees.

The organisers have procured large utensils from Calcutta, Guwahati and Deogarah in Bihar — the hub of the Satsang — for the purpose. They have requisitioned the services of 408 cooks from different parts of the country to prepare food for the devotees for two days.

At least 350 quintals of rice, 200 quintals of pulses and 300 quintals of assorted vegetables will be required each day to feed the congregation.

The organisers have booked 550 hotel rooms, 19 schools, the railway guest house, inter-state

bus terminus and the Agriculture Science Centre to accommodate the devotees arriving from far-off places. As many as 16 makeshift dharamshalas (dormitories) have also been set up in two fields.
