The article “The ubiquitous queue crashers” (Open Page, May 29) was interesting. It is not only in places mentioned by the author but also in temples that you find people jumping queues, especially at the time of distribution of prasad. There is a virtual stampede among devotees. People with children thronging for a glimpse of the lord being deprived by a few VIPs breaking the queue is a common sight in pilgrimage centres.

Some allowance can be given to elders, women and children if a queue is long. There is absolutely no harm in letting a “very sick” person see the doctor first. While sticking to rules with regard to orderliness, we should also come forward to help the less fortunate and those in difficulty.
