Cops ban vehicles in Ramkund area on Mondays & Saturdays
The month of Shravan began on July 25. Police said every year, during Shravan, there is a huge rush of devotees in the Panchavati area who want to have darshan in different temples and also take a dip in the river waters. Considering the rush, police decided to restrict the movement of traffic on Mondays and Saturdays until Aug 23 from 6am to 10pm on these two days.
The roads that will be closed for motor vehicles are from Malegaon Stand to Kapaleshwar temple, Khandave hall to Kapaleshwar temple, Sardar Chowk to Kapaleshwar temple, and Dhike library to Kapaleshwar temple.
Motorists are urged not to use these roads from 6am to 10pm on Mondays and Saturdays until Aug 23.
An order in this regard has been issued by DCP (HQ) Chandrakant Khandvi. Senior police officers said they have also deployed strict bandobast so that the devotees do not have to face any inconveniences while taking darshan or taking a dip in the river water.

Thieves steal 3 gold chains at Jharkhand Mahadev Temple
1 2 Jaipur: During the holy month of Shravan, as crowds continue to swell at the city's Jharkhand Mahadev Temple, a gang of women thieves has been slipping through the rush, unhooking gold chains right inside the sanctum—while police stand just a few feet away. Between July 23 and July 28, at least three gold chains were stolen from women as they bent to pour water on the Shiva Linga, with two incidents occurring on the same day. The thefts follow a distinct pattern. One gang member pretends to offer blessings or nudges the target under the guise of crowd movement. In that moment of distraction, another unclasps the chain and quickly hands it off to an accomplice. The gang blends into the crowd before anyone realises what happened. What's raising eyebrows is the fact that these crimes happened in full public view—inside a sacred space—while police were present. CCTV footage confirms the thefts and shows the suspects in action, moving swiftly and confidently. Archana Singh, 45, a regular devotee, was one of the victims. "Before going in, we clicked a photo. My 20-gram chain is visible. After the ritual, it was gone," she told TOI.

When she approached Vaishali Nagar police to lodge an FIR the same day, a woman sub-inspector allegedly discouraged her. "She said I would face unnecessary complications and that the gang would be caught soon," Singh said. Later, police called her back and asked her to return and formally file the report after no breakthrough was made. No FIR has been registered so far, according to Singh. SHO Rajesh Kumar Singh said all FIRs have been filed in all known cases and that CCTV footage is being reviewed. "We are investigating," he said. However, he did not comment on why preventive measures—like frisking at entry or crowd control inside the sanctum—have not been enforced, especially given the surge in footfall during Shravan. Despite a heavy turnout of devotees every Monday and increasing complaints, no arrests have been made so far. Police say technical teams are working to identify the suspects, and extra deployment is being considered.
