Miracle in Ujjain as Hanuman idol does not budge during road widening and JCB machines break down prompting locals to begin prayers

·

A surprising incident took place in the holy city of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, during road widening work. Municipal authorities deployed heavy JCB earthmovers to relocate a roadside Hanuman idol to facilitate traffic expansion. However, despite multiple attempts, the idol did not budge in the slightest, and the machines abruptly developed technical snags and broke down, forcing the crew to halt the operation.

As the news spread, large crowds of local residents and devotees gathered at the site. Convinced that the failure of heavy machinery to move the idol was a divine miracle of Lord Hanuman, locals began offering special prayers, breaking coconuts, and performing aartis. The residents are now urging the administration to halt the relocation permanently and alter the road expansion plans instead.
