लडाख असा नुसता शब्द उच्चारला तरी अंगावर रोमांचं उठायचे पण त्या ढगफुटीने सगळं बदलून टाकलं. आता लडाख म्हटलं की काळजीच जास्त वाटते. तिकडचे आमचे काही मित्र त्या ढगफुटीने प्रभावीत झाले आहेत. तिथलं संकट आसमानी आहे. १२ ऑगस्ट ला श्रीनगर मार्गे लडाखला जायचं आहे. थोड्या थोड्या वेळाने जाणार्‍या मंडळींचे फोन येत आहेत. लडाखला जे झालं ते झालं, होऊन गेलं.
नुकताच दिपक घोलपांचा फोन येऊन गेला. त्यानी महाराष्ट्र सरकारच्या दिल्लीस्थित हेल्पलाईनला फोन केला होता. कारगील-लेह रस्ते वाहतूक सुरू व्हायला अजून सहा-सात दिवस लागतील असं त्यांना सांगण्यात आलं. आज पासून सातव्या दिवशी आम्ही लेहला असणार आहोत. म्हणजे सात दिवस लागले तरी आपण जाणार तेव्हा रस्ता नक्की खुला झालेला असणार. पण मला वाटतं त्या आधीच पुढील दोन दिवसातच रस्ते खुले झाल्याची बातमी येईल. लष्कराच्या अभियंत्यांनी आधीच कामाला सुरूवात केली आहे. बातम्या पुढील प्रमाणे आहेत.
“The arrangements for dispatch of the bodies of non-local deceased persons are being made. Repair work on the Srinagar Ladakh National Highway
IGP Kashmir Farooq Ahmad said police, army, CRPF, ITBP men are carrying out the rescue operations. “Even some foreign tourists have joined the rescue operations. About 500 persons are missing,” he said.
They said in addition, satellite and radio communications have been established at important locations by the army. “The Army engineers are clearing the landslides and launching the essential bridges, so as to open both the highways to traffic,” the officials added.

B.R.O. चा 'हिमांक' हा एक जबरदस्त प्रोजेक्ट आहे... ह्या लोकांना मानला बुवा.. ते लवकरच सर्व ठीक करतील हे नक्की.. पण झालेली हानी न भरून येण्यासारखीच... मला लवकरात लवकर पुन्हा तिकडे जायचं.. बघू कधी जमतंय...
ReplyDeleteरोहन, 'ब्रो'वरच तर सगळी मदार आहे. बघू काय होतं ते.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened in Ladakh is really very sad.But it is nature's outburst and we cannot do anything.Right now I am worried about our Ladakhi friends and colleagues like Padma Tashi,Aashiqbhai and all the local people of Ladakh.June to mid September is the tourist season of Ladakh wherein lots of tourists Indian as well as Foreign visit Ladakh. Over last 5 years there has been a substantial increase in tourism in Ladakh. Which has in a way increased the stndard of living of the local people.They work hard during these 3-4 months so as to earn enough for them to survive for the next 8 months till the next tourist season comes again. But now at this point of time when the season is about to end and some of them have lost almost everything they have earned in their lifetime. The following 8 months are going to be a hard time.I feel we all should help them in whatever way we can and make them stand on their feet once again.
ReplyDeleteAnila, u r Wright. Everyone should help Ladakhis at this movement, but I am not ready to trust Govt. & its Organisations as previous experience was very bad. So we Travellers of Isha Tours have to make combine efforts.
ReplyDelete"True feelings.In a minute of getting news I called Atma & came to that Isha batch had arrived previous day only.One can understand that ISHA TRAVELERS will be very disturbed with news.So we all in family.Constantly trcakings news form Leh ;on TV & news papers.Hope every thing will be normal very soon though loss of life can not be compenseted.Heart goes out to realy very poor & simple ( by nature) people & army staff."
