Demand to Establish Investigating Committee About the Meiron Transportation Snafu
By Yechiel Sever
There is an accelerating public demand for the establishment of a government investigative committee to study the mega-bottleneck created at the Meiron tombsite this past Lag B'Omer. Why weren't the police sufficiently prepared for the huge crowds which converged upon the site? It was the worst scene ever in Lag B'Omer annals, compounded by the disgraceful conduct of the police, who lashed out at innocent participants with blows, threats and curses. Then there were the thousands who were stranded in the blazing sun for hours (which alone could have resulted in casualties) due to the lack of transportation.
