Overview

• In Rudrapur’s Gandhi Park, 65-foot Ravana and two 60-foot companion effigies collapsed before the burning ceremony, which was then canceled.
• Rudrapur organisers reported no injuries after the fall, citing a sudden burst of strong wind and rain as the cause.
• In Ujjain, a large Ravana effigy swayed in high winds and fell on workers trying to steady it, leaving three with minor injuries.
• The injured in Ujjain received primary care, and organisers said they were repairing the effigy to keep the torching on schedule.
• Rudrapur’s display was built by a Rampur-based team over several months, with organisers estimating costs at about Rs 1.5 lakh.
