JAMMU, June 28: Dogra Brahman Pratinidhi Sabha Parade today appealed to the Lt Governor J&K to come out with executive order for performing all official and administrative work in Hindi.
“Since erstwhile Jammu & Kashmir has now become Union Territory, all administrative and officials meetings and issuance of further orders should be in Hindi language,” said Ved Parkash Sharma, president of DBPS, while addressing an important meeting with office bearers and active members of the Sabha here with maintaining social distancing.
Sharma said that in Delhi and Chandigarh also, long established as Union Territories, the official work is performed in Hindi. “Hindi is a beautiful language combining in it all elements of national integration which is the need of the hour,” he added.
Sharma further said that the people of State were always with the UT Lt Governor’s every bold decision for speeding up development activities, strengthening democracy at grass root level and ensuring accountability and good governance.
Senior member, Advocate P C Sharma expressed concern over the plight of Jammu based employees in the present scenario of COVID pandemic and lockdown. He said that the situation in J&K is worsening due to COVID 19 pandemic and Kashmir is more affected as compared to Jammu while the decision of the Government to function from Jammu for this summer only was a wise step and it should have continued but the sudden decision of shifting of Durbar move offices to Kashmir has increased worries of Jammu based employees.
Fearing that this may endanger lives of the employees and their families, Sharma urged upon the LG administration to allow Jammu based employees to work from Jammu offices.
Sabha vice-president V M Magotra, Satyanand Sharma, Subash Shastri, Advocate Chander Mohan Sharma, Jagan Nath Sharma, Nanak Chand Sharma, Madan Lai Sharma, Ramesh Sharma, Shiv Ram Sharma, Gurdas Sharma, Sunil Sharma, Charan Dass Sharma, S S Baru, Prem Balotra, Som Nath Magotra, Som Nath Sharma, Devinder Sharma (Babu), Rajesh Bargotra, Satpal Sharma, Raman Sharma and B S Jamwal were present on the occasion and came out with suggestion to increase the circle of Sanskrit language and to double the efforts to popularize the same.
