Lake on
Tawi
Sir,
The constant demand for
creating a lake on river Tawi at Jammu is
a genuine one and should receive urgent
attention of the Government( refer Mr.
Jamwal's letter D.E.28th. July 2006) on
the following grounds:
A lake in the vicinity of
Jammu city with Bahu and Mahamaya forests
in the background will enhance its beauty
manifold.
Lakes improve the climatic
conditions of the surrounding areas. With
a lake in the vicinity Jammu city will
become cooler in summers.
The water table will rise
and improve growth of vegetation in and
around Jammu.
Lakes are essential from
point of view of recreation. People can
use the lake for boating, swimming and
regettas and will attract tourists from
the neighbouring states.
The lake will become a rich
source of fish production and Jammuites
can eat fresh fish as compared to stale
stuff they are used to eating.
Having said so it is also
important to consider the following
points:
Are geological conditions
suitable to create an artificial lake?
This will need expert examination and
advice.
During rainy season Tawi is
in great fury. Suitable safeguards will
have to be created once a decision is
taken to create a lake.
With a lake in the vicinity
we will feel more proud of our city.
Yours

Chain
snatching
Sir,
In the city of temples
people are peaceful and have never
indulged in antinational activities.
Unfortunately some misguided rogues are
out to damage the peaceful atmosphere of
this great city through their nefarious
activities. The women have been
especially targeted by these rowdy
elements. Taking the advantage of a women
walking alone in a lane or a bylane these
rogues snatch valuables of the hapless
women and runaway. Many incidents have
been reported and alarmingly they are on
the rise. Gold chain snatching incidents
have been reported from many places
whether it is Bohri, Talab Tillo, Bakshi
Nagar or some other place. A strange and
of course a unwelcome sign is that even
if there are bystanders watching the
incident they do not run after the thief
but just watch. Police has a primary role
but the civil society also has a prime
responsibility to fight these rogues and
help them put behind the bars which is
the only place they deserve.

Summer
vacations in Doda
Sir,
It's not only the adult
people but children who are also not
tolerating the hot temperature of Doda
which has crossed 400C. The Govt. has
ordered the summer vacations in Kashmir
valley recently and the schools of Jammu
were closed one month before. The Govt
has not yet given its order whether there
will be summer vacations in Doda or not.
Has the Govt forgotten that the temp of
Doda is more than the temp in Kashmir
valley.

Salute
to Indian Army
Sir,
The way in which Indian Army
has saved the little child Prince of
Haryana (Kurukshetra) is praise-worthy. I
salute to the courage of Indian Army.
The Indian Army has time and
again shown that it is second to none and
in the best in the world.
The way in which prayers
were offered every where in the country
for little child Prince has shown that
whenever any problem arise in the country
we get united irrespective of our
religion. So, we have seen this time also
there in unity in diversity in India.
Yours
etc...
