Successfully completing Baba Amarnath Yatra amidst epidemic like Corona is a major challenge for the administration of Jammu and Kashmir.For this a delegation of Baba Amarnath and Buda Amarnath Yatri Niyas called on Jammu & Kashmir Lieutenant Governor (LG) Girish Chandra Murmu at Raj Bhavan here on Saturday to discuss various issues concerning the conduct of yatra amid corona virus outbreak.
The LG while interacting with the members of the delegation, observed that due to the Covid-19 situation, the appropriate decision on organizing the yatra can only be taken after periodic reviews of the situation, as per an official release.
“The government will explore all possible means required for the conduct of the yatras. However, all these developments are subject to review, in view of the Covid-19 crisis,” Murmu said.
He stated that around 20,000 health care professionals and 30,000 police and para-military personnel are working towards the containment of corona virus, and their availability is also to be ascertained for the conduct of yatra, the statement said.
Members of the delegation made several suggestions like curtailment of yatra duration, allowing specific age group devotees, preference for online yatra registration, commencement of heli-yatra earlier and delay in on-foot yatra as per the prevailing situation and operationalisation of single route (Pahalgam route), it added.
The LG also urged the delegation to stay in touch with the langar (community kitchen) organisations as well and assured the support in facilitating the necessary arrangements.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
