JAMMU, Aug 30: A delegation of Kounsar Nag Prabandhak Samiti led by its convener Swami Kumar Ji of Geeta Satsang Ashram met Governor NN Vohra and submitted a memorandum in connection with the sacred yatra to ancient Kounsar Nag in Kulgam District of Kashmir which was slated to be undertaken by a group of 40 Kashmiri Hindus but was denied, by the local administration after the permission for the same was given earlier.
The total silence and inaction of the State Government has given an impression to the Hindu community who have been performing yatra to Kounsar Nag for the last 5000 years that the administration has succumbed to the pressure of separatists and anti-social forces that prevented us from undertaking the yatra.
The delegation brought all the disturbing facts to the kind notice of Governor with a hope that his good self being the constitutional head of the State will look into the whole issue and ensure that no hurdle was created at the time of Kounsar Nag yatra in future.
Looking to the ensuing “Pitra Paksh” in the first fortnight of September this year, a group of devotees is to visit and pay obeisance at the sacred Kounsarnag Lake. This was brought into the notice of the Governor by the members on the delegation.
It was also brought into the notice of Governor to ensure the presence of paramilitary forces at Kounsar Nag so that the place is protected against any mischief doers and zealot anti social elements.
Governer gave a patient hearing to the delegation and assured to bring all these facts into the notice of the State Government so that necessary steps were taken at an earliest.
Among others present were Swami Ram Sharan Dass Ji from Laxmi Naryan Mandir, Bhari Dhari, Reasi, Leela Karan Sharma, president, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, KK Khosa, president, Kashmiri Pandit Sabha Jammu, Shiban Khaibri, writer and social activist, V Kashkari, co-convener, J&K Nationalist Movement, PS Jamwal, general secretary, Sanatan Dharam Sabha Jammu, Pairay Lal Bhat from Sanjeevani Sharda Kendra, Anand Nagar, Taken Dass from Sanatan Dharam Sabha Jammu and Avtar Krishen Trakroo from Sanjeevani Sharda Kendra Jammu.
