JAMMU, Apr 13: On the auspicious day of first Navratri and on the eve of centenary celebrations of Shri Bhat, mentor of Ram Mandir Trust, Srinagar- Jammu affiliated to J&K Bhora Sudhar Sabha, the foundation stone of new Community Hall at Colonel Colony area of Talab Tillo was laid by former State president BJP and Ex Minister, Sat Sharma (CA) today . He was accompanied by a large number of people including Corporator Ward 41, Sanjay Baru, BJP publicity secretary, Ayodhya Gupta, Jatin Sethi, Pyare Lal Mawa and many others including the Committee members.
Congratulating people on the occasion of Navratras, Sat Sharma said that the Kashmiri Pandit community residing in the area has done a great work by constructing a Community Hall in the area which will cater to the needs of the locals. He said the Committee through donations has taken the initiative of construction of this hall and it will also help many others including the people from adjoining areas as well. He said that earlier there was no such place in the vicinity where people could perform rituals like Poojans, Uthalas and other things related to importance in Hindu religion but now this will surely cope up with the needs of the masses for which he congratulated the whole team of the Trust.
He stated that there is a dire need to construct more of such things in every sphere of Jammu and Kashmir and he also appealed LG Manoj Sinha to develop such types of places where people could perform religious rituals which are an important part of our religion.
Sanjay Baru and Ayodhya Gupta lauded the work done by the community and said that such things hold a great importance in our society and focus must be placed on developing such things in future.
