With two third of earth's surface wrapped with water and our physique constituting 75℅ of it, still we are facing scarcity of potable water across the globe.Its scarcity includes lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region. It already affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world atleast one month out of every year .More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water.
The recent uproar in the Kashmir assembly over the water crises has cleared the air that in spite of having abundant water resources ,we are also babes in the wood.
While the scarcity has lot of causes viz climate cause ,pollution, increased human demand and overuse, but in our part politics serve as one of the prime mover.You may be surprised by my argument but let me told you a story.
I belong to Humpora ,the village known for its singularity in the whole lagate constituency of J&K.The village has always served as a torch barrier to laminate the entire with the message of peace and harmony. It is well known for its sacrifices it has given to establish peace and brotherhood. Without any exaggeration ,it is traced by the race who is all time willing to offer mutual help in any case and always get on with one another harmoniously.
The inflection point in the story is that the village has no water from the couple of decades. Not because we haven't access to any clean water body , No..! It is by the fact that we are being nullified from it.we are abjured by the people to whom the village has always served as a scout.The water streaming through the village Gundchubutra ( located in the south - west side w.r.t Humpora) is being blocked by few persons for their bogus selfish reasons while sharing a strong political support. They excuse that they will not allow the water supply to flow through their land ,on the contrary the oppressed village is a host of network of pipelines watering the nearby hamlets.
We have officially done all formalities. We approached the honorable deputy commissioner, who also assured us of solving the issue well in time ,but unfortunately his assurance mangled before the tyranny.
Every MLA ,who was in the office ,waxed the issue for mere political basis. Presently the constituency is headed by AIP supremo ,known for his powerful debates in the assembly and his quagmire quarrels, Er. Rashid.We expected the must needed justice by his judgment, but we discovered he valued his vote bank and underestimated the need .
Dear Er. Rashid ,you are chanting the slogans of justice, but you're nourishing the ones who are blindly ruling the area by your support, as well. Let you please taught them the way of justice. You will be responsible for the this hereafter.Moreover you are talking about solving the giant issues of the nation Let You told me tomorrow what justice you will done with the interwing dispute of sharing of water resources between two nuclear powers ,which is hanged till 1948, when you have failed today in solving the 25 year old dispute between two villages.Let you not further fuss ...thank you.
On the humanitarian basis we must adopt antipodal behavior which we have owned. The religion of peace ,Islam, always stressed its followers to have their bond like brothers. Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him) Said,"The Muslims are partner's in three water, pastures and fire" The arabic word "ma" is mentioned 63 times in the holy book ,Qur'an, giving a clear message that we shouldn't snatch others their right when Almighty is giving them.
