This video will make your blood boil. Such criminal behaviour on the streets, in the name of religion. Because of these #Kawariyas, traffic jams, violence and mayhem in broad daylight despite cops being on the ground. pic.twitter.com/D4hQiG7QFo

This is totally against the spirit & purpose of Kanwar Yatra. Strict action reqd

These people are huligans and they bring bad name to Kanwar yatra. Police won't even dare to touch these people as they get free pass during Kanwar.

That gives them a right to group together and damage a vehicle??? Let the kanwar file a complaint for assault. Any other day they would have done the same.. right

“This Is the Fault of Delhi Administration”

Some Twitter users considered the incident an outcome of the local government’s mismanagement.

That is a fault of Delhi administration...who didn't give them a separate way...there are many cities in UP..where any entire lane is given specifically to kanwar only...and everything runs smoothly

Many also pointed out how entire roads had been blocked for the yatra.

About 300km long National Highway from Gorakhpur to Lucknow closed for three days for Kanwar pilgms to commute...????

“Happens Every Year”

Some netizens pointed out that this happens every year.

Bhai Still.. does not call for this kind of hooliganism. And Kanwars+monsoon in Delhi city makes it a mess.. heated arguments are common during Kanwar days

— Pulkit (@pulkit1927) August 8, 2018

Ughhh the kanwar menace on roads today. Rolling joints, smoking cigarettes, and blocking busy roads in the name of religion. pic.twitter.com/hkLDKFniBC

I remember travelling in AC 3 tier during last day of Kanwar from meerut to Delhi to meet my mom. The horrifying journey of being virtually stripped off in the gaze of Kanwar travelling in train is I can never forget... I scolded my mom to make me to come that time!
