SIMPLE SOLUTION for
STAMPEDE ( call it #3S )
Yesterday , some 717 persons died in a stampede during
Hajj pilgrimage at Mecca
In 1990 , some 1400 had died at the same place in
another stampede
This phenomenon repeats itself at regular interval , at
most holy places around the World , but especially in countries with poor
arrangements for handling of millions of people , in a small place , over a
short time
Saudi Arabia has , over the past few years , vastly
improved its facilities for coping with 3 million pilgrims walking thru Mecca ,
in one week
But , given its vast resources , it can certainly do
much better
Stampedes occur when , in a narrow path , some people
make a run ( rush ) , for whatever reason , trying to overtake people in front
walking normally
The surest - and the safest - way to prevent stampede
is :
Simply ensure no one can outrun persons walking in
front !
Eminently possible !
Just install , one above another ( vertically ) ,
several rope-ways with hanging chairs for 2 persons per chair , safely secured
by belts
All rope-ways picking up pilgrims at the Boarding
Station and then dropping off at the Disembarkation Station , on the opposite
side
Each platform on either side of the Rock of Satan
Each rope-way moving at variable speeds controlled by
CONTROL ROOM
Pilgrims throwing stones from above on the Rock of
Satan , from their chairs
Stones being collected automatically in moving conveyors
and delivered to a hopper in the STONE LOADING ZONE , for loading onto the
moving chairs
Like a pin-ball machine , each chair carrying 7*2
pre-loaded stones
At other places , this concept of horizontally moving
conveyors carrying stationary persons , can be replicated with some variations
Given the wealth of Saudi Arabia , the rope-ways or
horizontally moving conveyors , can even be enclosed in air-conditioned glass
tubes , from which , pilgrims can view all holy places without leaving their
chairs !
And they can throw stones at the Satan , by simply
pressing a button on the right hand arm rest of their chair !
This automatic arrangement will make it possible for
the Authorities enable sick / old / children to perform the pilgrimage !
It may even attract visitors from all over the World
(including non-muslims ) to travel to Mecca , around the year !
Annual income of the Kingdom would go up from $ 4.5
billion to $ 10 billion !
Will Dr Mahesh Sharma ( Minister for Tourism / Govt of
India ) , consider this idea for Maha-Kumbh Mela / Tirupati / Sai Dham , Shirdi
/ Sinhasth Kumbh , Nasik etc ?
May be Shri Narendra Modi , while talking to American
CEOs in San Jose today , convince them to come forward with an investment of $
5 billion at our holy places , to transform Make in India
into Incredible
India
!
