Bosky Khanna ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: Forest department officials have once again looked helpless in front of a large crowd, this time for religious reasons. Thousands of people have been gathering on the foothills of MM Hills, on the banks of Cauvery River at Sangam and even in the forest of Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary. The surging crowds have left the forest department officials worried as they are unable to control the people and ensure that the forest is not set on fire by the visitors. They demanded that the government and forest officials put restrictions, create proper walking paths and control the crowd. A forest official admitted that the volunteers are manning the forests towards the Talabetta side, but not towards the Sangam, where more help is needed..
