Loot in golf course pahalgam!

Thief in the dress of  .......!!!

March 28,2018: There have been a number of shady and fraudulent dealings from last one decade in Pahalgam's 18 hole golf course and it is an open secret, we have been raising our voice time to time against it but nobody seems to have cared. Conditional Contracts invited PDA for maintainence of said golf course and repeatedly have been granted to benefit certain class of  people and huts have been constructed in 2012-13  by cutting of green forests with the support of PDA . The trend of diverting developmental funds from Pahalgam's poor local population and redirected to construction and maintainence of golf course, clubs and huts, continues till today. Even the local people of Laripora whose land was confiscated to build the golf course have not been given jobs as promised and their children only given contractual jobs through contractors till today, the government or PDA not provided them a job, who were promised at that time.
We fail to understand what could be the rationale behind such a discriminatory, exclusionary and anti people policies of the government, where funds that could be used for building roads, hospitals and schools are instead diverted for elite clubs and expensive sports facilities,due to this there is no benefit for Poor and common people of the area...
I ask this question to the government and Pahalgam Development Authority -PDA as to how much they have generated and earned from these golf course, club and huts since 2014 and how do these earnings compare to a similar investment that could have been made in health and education and if they haven't even generated sufficient earnings from these facilities who are they being run for obviously at the local ordinary people's cost??

We collect garbage at our houses and throw on the streets ,is it justice???

We collect garbage at our houses and throw on the streets ,is it justice???

March 22,2018:I've been seeing a lot of garbage dumping on both sides of Khanabal Pahalgam Road  KP, road, and Bijbhera Pahalgam Road BL,road. Esp Ananthnag, Mattan, Seerhamdan, Aishmuqam, Batkoot in KV Pora side and DP Pora side Zirpora, Kanalwan, Chaniwudar, Srigufwara, Badroo, Sallar, Walarhama, Kullar etc particularly  near the gurudwara in Hutmaroo where so much garbage has been thrown that one feels like crying. In a district with so many educated people and officers there should at least be basic cleanliness. I appeal to the administration and civil society to have the both road side  cleaned and save  the embarassment we all  have to face because of the garbage and filth as people from around the world come to visit world famous tourist destination Pahalgam.

(Where need our help we HWO stand with  together)

“ Be Water Wise”

March 22,2018: We urge and request people to conserve and preserve water, we especially request civic bodies in J&K who dump garbage near water-bodies, to follow guidelines of the environment protection act and immediately stop this practice as it gets washed with rains and flows International World rivers subsequently, severely raising chances of water-borne disease and other health issues for downstream populations. It is also the need of the hour to start working for preservation and conservation of all source-springs rivers and streams with a missionary zeal, given the massive extent of Industrial pollution and rising burden on water bodies due to rapid urbanization.
We, the Himalayan Welfare organization have been running the Save Sins and Lidder Since 2008 and  save Shahkul campaign since 2016.

WWD, on 22 March every year, is about focusing attention on the importance of water.
The theme for World Water Day 2018 is ‘Nature for Water’ – exploring nature-based solutions to the water challenges we face in the 21st century.

Damaged ecosystems affect the quantity and quality of water available for human consumption.
Today, 2.1 billion people live without safe drinking water at home; affecting their health, education and livelihoods.

Sustainable Development Goal 6 commits the world to ensuring that everyone has access to safe water by 2030, and includes targets on protecting the natural environment and reducing pollution.

World Water Day is an annual event celebrated on 22 March. The day focuses attention on the importance of universal access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene ( WASH) facilities in developing countries. The day also focuses on advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
World Water Day is supported by stakeholders across the globe. Many organizations promote clean water for people and sustainable aquatic habitats. Events such as theatrical and musical celebrations, educational events, and campaigns to raise money for access to clean and affordable water are held worldwide on or close to 22 March.
The first International World Water Day, designated by the United Nations, was commemorated in 1993.

We at HWO , are trying our best to spread the awareness campaign.... please participate individually to do something for our own future It’s our sincere request .

Let’s come together and create awareness to save and conserve water ..
