| NC MLA takes electricity to graveyard | | Zindiyan nu daanga, murdiyan nu baanga | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 11: Amitabh Bachan's 1981 Laawaris was a super hit. When the harsh reality of being a bustard dawns on him, he goes to bar to have a drink. He sees a man crying for his dead father. An angry Amitabh says: "Saalay zindoon ki parwah nahi kartay hain aur murdoon par aansoon bahatay hain" (They don't care for the living and weep for the dead). This is exactly what the MLA from Batmaloo has done.
A few meters from his ancestral residence is a graveyard. Some famous people are buried there. The prominent among them is the famous physician, Dr Ali Jan, former Chief Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad's father-in-law and a highly respected local, Dr Muhammad Ramzan. During Azad's rule a huge iron pole with three flash lights was installed in the middle of the graveyard. However, it stopped functioning after a couple of months. The people by and large do not bury their dead at night. In most of the cases the body is taken to the graveyard for burial during the day. So installing lights in the graveyard makes no sense.
Any ways, some concerned persons of the locality sought an explanation from the PDD men who were making a big hole for an electric pole. When told it was not needed, they said the local MLA was interested in installing he pole with in the graveyard. Curiously people had called on him for erratic power supply and dilapidated drains in recent past. They had returned disappointed.
Interestingly the funds for the pole that is now installed in the graveyard have come from MLA's constituency development fund. Had he given the funds for replacing a damaged transformer in the area, the power situation would have improved considerably. But the MLA seems more interested in the dead. And in this neglected land who cares for the living. |
