Mughal-Jaral alliance monument loses royal sheen Dogs create panic in Kupwara localities‘They even enter hospital wards’

SHAHID RAFIQ

Kupwara, Feb 20: People of various areas of Kupwara district have expressed con-cern over continued canine threat, saying packs of stray dogs roam around in the habitations creating panic among the locals.

The residents of Vilgam, Ramhal, Trehgam, Panzgam, Shairkoot and Braripora complained of large number of stray dogs in these vil-lages that pose threat to the

inhabitants who fear ventur-ing out alone.

“Children are vulnerable to dog attacks and we are forced to accompany them every time they move out,” said the locals.

Not only localities, the dogs were reportedly seen strutting inside wards of Dis-trict Hospital here Wednes-day night with no official taking notice of the incident.

Panicked patients and attendants alleged that despite bringing the matter into the notice of hospital authorities, no measures were taken to stop dogs from roaming freely in the hospital

premises. “The dogs entered the emergency ward and to avoid being bitten by them we ran outside,” said Muham-mad Abdullah, an attendant.

Patients and their atten-dants say the dogs in the hos-pital premises keep barking through-out the night giving sleepless nights to them.

“We even fear to move out to get medicines from the market during late hours as dogs roam in groups in the hospital premises,” Abdul-lah added. A doctor, wishing anonymity, said that “The hospital is without fencing on three sides which allows dogs to enter into the premises.”

The meeting was attend-ed by former chief engineer

Prof Mehraj-u-din sought active support and par-ticipation of the Committee members in establishing the varsity with a perma-nent campus.

“The University, despite marching ahead on aca-demic and research front, does feel the absence of its own campus,” said Prof Mehraj-u-din.

Prof M A Zargar briefed the Committee members about the progress and pace

of work since the last meet-ing of UBC.

“The members discussed the progress on construc-tion work at the site. The digital survey/topographi-cal survey and soil test report, done by CPWD were also deliberated upon. A sub-committee comprising experts, with some nomina-tions was constituted to come up with an expert opin-ion in the subject matter,” a CUK spokesman said.

‘Rajouri Baradari turns into den of criminals’

PIR PANJAL BUREAU

Rajouri, Feb 20: Stinking piles of garbage, crumbling walls covered with spider nets and threat of creepy reptiles hidden in luxuriant bushes and tall grass welcomes the visitor at Rajouri Baradari --- the place that brings to mind glorious epoch of friendship between mighty Mughals and local rulers, the Jarals.

It is the place where Mughal-Jaral friendship turned into relationship as marriage ceremony of Mughal emperor, Aurang-zeb and Nawab Bai Begum, daughter of Jaral ruler of Rajouri,Taj-u-Din was held here about 369 years ago.

Famous by the name of Baradari (Guest Hall), the place has become a den for criminals and drug addicts as both Archaeological Survey of

India (ASI) and local admin-istration have shut their eyes towards preservation of this rich heritage site, bringing it on verge of extinction.

The remains of the house of Nawab Begum can still be found in Kot Mahal but the condition of this historical place also presents a depress-ing picture with caved-in roof and crumbling walls.

Still standing tall, the massive entry gateway of Kot Mahal is the only remi-niscent of the past glory of the royal complex.

According to locals, this heritage site has become a place of illegal activities and safe haven for drug addicts. A big hole in the wall pro-vides entry to these elements into the Baradari, a testi-

mony as to how the place is being vandalized in absence of proper watch over.

The place earlier housed District Hospital for several years, however, after the construction of new hospital building, it was left to decay and vandalized by anti-social elements. As per president of a local anti-drug group, Choudhary Liaqat Ali, such

isolated places are surely used by drug addicts and criminals to carry out their activities. He said police should take steps to stop them (criminals) from using the place for illegal deeds.

The subsequent genera-tions of Jarals, who are now known as Mirzas, have also not made any efforts to pre-serve the legacy and heritage of their royal ancestry.

However, a member of the Mirza clan, Zubair Mirza has established an organisation, ‘Reformer’ to protect and preserve this Mughal-Jaral monument and has decided to rope in all members of Jaral and Mughal clans to achieve the objective.

The organization has urged the district adminis-tration to take steps to save the heritage sites which are source of rich history of Rajouri. A member of Nawab Begum’s family, Advocate Ahsan Mirza is also working for preservation of this place of historical importance.
