I have been going this place since childhood but a few weeks ago a disturbing incident happened with me when I went with my friends for cake cutting one of the fellow person came and stopped us from doing so giving an excuse that cake is not allowed inside the ghat.. If cigarette, alcohol and all sorts off snacks are allowed then why not a cake ? And who does that for a public place? And where the administrator is why they don't bother to stop such people? The urinals, the washed away water is flowing into Ganga they are not raising or doing anything for that but for unconcerned thing they are disturbing the people. It's a humble request please ask the local admin to have a look on this.
