More than 600 devotees were admitted to Puri Medical due to injuries and illness sustained during the Rath Yatra festivities on Friday.

As per sources, the massive turnout and associated chaos led to a significant number of people requiring medical attention.

According to reports, the delay in pulling the chariots is one of the major factors behind the injuries and illnesses of the devotees.

The challenging manoeuvring of Lord Balabhadra's Taladhwaja chariot, required at a critical turn, significantly slowed down the procession.
