The organisers have mentioned that since the procession, which would start on the night of September 20 (with the procession of Karna Ghoda ), would have large chariots and howdah tied over elephants, it is very risky for the actors enacting the role of Ram, Sita, Laxman and other character of Ramayana.The organisers have also complaint that these roads are damaged at several places and after the rains, the potholes have become more dangerous. From past several decades, Ram Dal is being taken out in various localities of Chowk area including Muttiganj, Kydganj, Batasa Mandi, Loknath, Zero road, Ram Bhawan crossing, Kotapracha, Hatia crossing, Bharti Bhawan Road.Conditions of the main roads of these localities is in such a bad shape that the locals as well as the organisers of these procession and the ramlila committee have complaints to the authorities of Allahabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) but to no avail.After failing to get any positive response from the local authorities, the office bearer of the Pajawa Ramlila committee have written to the chief minister, seeking his intervention on the issue.
