Praising people of Latur in Maharashtra
for showing a new direction to those suffering from water shortage,
Sarsanghchalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Dr. Mohanrao Bhagwat
said that the RSS has been working to unite the society to face such
times of distress and overcome them.
He was speaking after performing ‘Jal
Pujan’ (worship of water) on the banks of Manjra river here. The
completely dried up river was brought to life once again by the
collective efforts initiated by RSS Jankalyan Samiti, Art of Living and
people’s participation.
The ‘Jal Pujan’ program was organised by
‘Sarvajanik Jalyukt Latur Vyvasthapan Samiti’ at the Nageshwar temple
premises in the presence of Patron and President of ‘Jalyukt Latur
Samiti’, Dr. Ashokrao Kukde and other prominent persons.
Sarsanghchalak said that the RSS was
aiming to unite the society as has been achieved by the people of Latur.
We may have different thoughts, differences over issues but when we
come together as a society and work unitedly, we work as one people.
This happened in Latur when the water scarcity became acute.
The people came together and faced the
situation boldly without getting panicky and undertook efforts to tide
over this calamity successfully. This example will work like a guiding
light for the country, the RSS Chief said.
In facing the natural calamity of
drought and water scarcity the people of Latur created a new pattern of
people’s participation. Now this new ‘Latur Pattern’ would guide the
country, he said showering praise on the people to make ‘Jalyukt Latur’
successful.
Latur suffered an acute water shortage
in this summer and the railways had to send special water trains to meet
the demand of the people. However, under the initiative of RSS
Jankalyan Samiti and Art of Living, the people of Latur took up the work
of rejuvenating Manjra River and succeeded in their mission.
They cleaned the river bed from Saai to Nagjhari and Takli covering a distance of 15 km by direct participation of the people.
