Jammu | Aug 21
Governor, Mr N N Vohra, today appreciated the efforts of the civil society towards restoring normalcy in the State and expressed the hope that their collective efforts would greatly help in bringing about peace and harmony between various segments of the society.
Interacting with a delegation of Peace Mission, comprising representatives of various religious organisations and prominent citizens of Delhi, led by Mr M A Madni, MP, here this morning, the Governor reiterated the vital importance of dialogue and conciliation for resolving all the issues amicably.
He strongly urged the leaders of various organisations to disseminate the message of peace and communal harmony which has been a unique feature of the composite ethos of Jammu and Kashmir.
Mr Vohra reiterated that adequate security arrangements had been made for movement of supplies on the National Highway and said that transportation of fruit to different markets in the country was also proceeding satisfactorily. He maintained that trucks carrying fruit and essential commodities were moving in fully escorted convoys twice a day on the National Highway. If need be the number of convoys could be raised to three in view of the increased quantity of fruit to be transported in the ensuing peak fruit season, he added.
The Governor discounted the apprehensions of disruption in the traffic on the National Highway and said that the road has been fully sanitized with mobile patrols keeping strict vigil on the Highway. The Army was also assisting the Civil Administration in this regard.
Mr Vohra said that 238 fruit-laden trucks left the Valley for different destinations in the country, crossing Lower Munda during the past 24 hours. He said that inflow of trucks carrying petroleum products, livestock, rations, essential commodities etc was also progressing.
The Peace Mission comprised the representatives of Jamat-e-Islami Hind, Muslim Majlis Mushawrat, Jamai-ul-Ulma-e-Hind, Mili Council, Jamait-ul-Ahal-e-Hadees and Shia Front, besides Dr J K Jain, former MP, and Father Samuel |
