SDP President lights Prachand Jyot for Universal Brotherhood at Bahu Fort

“Famous shrine of Kali Mata at Bahu Fort should be taken over by the Mata Vaishnav Devi Shrine Board so that it develops as a national level religious pilgrimage centre in Jammu,” said Dr Darakhshan Andrabi while inaugurating a special Prachand Jyot ceremony and a Jagrata at Pacca Talaab in Bagh-e-Bahu area late at 11 pm in the night. Dr Andrabi was accompanied by senior party leaders General Secretary Ajay Kumar, provincial president Sham Lal Bhagat and other leaders Vishal Choudhry, Kamaljeet Singh, Raj Rattan, Ajay Raina, Balvinder Singh Charak and Subhash Baba. This programme was organized by SDP leaders Ved Prakash and Kiran Kumar. A special prayer for world peace and universal brotherhood was organized during the inauguration. Dr Darakhshan Andrabi said that the Kali Mata shrine of Jammu at Bahu Fort has not been developed as it should have been. She said that thousands of devotees visit the shrine daily but the area has no parking place at all. This creates great problems to visitors. Again there should have been a Sarai with facilities for devotees from outside Jammu who want to stay there for some time. “If Mata Vaishnav Devi Shrine Board takes over the Bagh-e-Bahu shrine, the facilities will come up automatically,” said Dr Darakhshan. She requested to the State Governor N N Vohra to take over the shrine. Dr Darakhshan said that she would write to the Governor about this demand which represents the aspirations of lacks of Mata’s devotees.
