पहाड़ों से पलायन का दर्द

नीरज जोशी पहाड़ से लौट कर आये हैं और अपना दर्द विस्फोट पर सबसे बांट रहे हैं.

गांव के ईर्द गिर्द सिरहाने और पांवों की ओर दो तीन किमी दूर तक छितरे उन सीढ़ीनुमा खेतों के बारे में इस बार अचानक मेरी दिलचस्पी बढ गई। खेतों को दूर दूर तक निहारते हुए यह प्रश्न मेरे जेहन में बार-बार कौंधा कि आखिर इस महाविस्तार में इतने सीढीनुमा खेत किसने बनाये होंगे? अब ये खेत बंजर पडे़ हैं। हमारे शैशव में जिन खेतों पर फसलें लहलहाती थी वहां अब जंगली झाडियॉं और कंटीले पेड़ उग आये है। ऐसा देखना उस आमधारणा के उलट है जो मानती है कि पहले जनसंख्या बहुत कम थी और अब एकाएक विस्फोट की स्थिति में पहुंच गई हैं। फिर ये खेत ऑंखिर बंजर क्यों हो गये? जनसंख्या बढ़ने के साथ उन पर दबाव बढ़ना चाहिए था। पर ये दवाब शून्य ही नही बंजर कर दिये गये हैं। कभी कभी ठहरकर यदि आप नजर डालेंगे तो इस वितान में दूर खडे़ छोटे- छोटे मकानों को देखकर एहसास होगा ये किसी महासभ्यता के ध्वंशावशेष हैं।

Basic facilities are very far away from a common man of Uttranchal region, because job opportunaty is not for local people. Mostly outsider are accupied in government bodies/state governmeant jobs. it will take time to change the thing

apne pahad ka kya kahna. kash ki wahan par sari suvidhayen hamko mil jati to hamko apni janm bhumi nahi chhorni padti.
ham aaj devbhumi se door ho gaye hain. isliye yah zaroori hai ki ham sab ek hokar apne vikas ke marg ko prashasht karen.
yahi sochkar maine agami lok sabha chunao men independent candidate ke roop men apne uttranchal ke bhai-bahnon ke hit men election ladne ka man banaya hai. mujhe asha hi nahi poorna viswas hai ki ham sab ek hokar vijaysree prapt karenge.

Dear Joshi Ji,

I have read your comments on the bad conditions of hills. Neither any leader nor government will take any step to develop the hills. It is only the people can develop the hills who belong the hills. We should organise a committe to develop.

Regards,

H B Madolia

Adarniya Bandhuwon,
Sadar Pranam
Maine pahad ke visay par aap sabke comments ko padha aur paya ki aap sabko pahadon se behad lagaw hai. Mujhe atyant prasannta huee. Yadi ham wastav men apne pahad ke liye kuch karna chahte hain to apni vyatha matra do shabdon me bayan na kar ham sabko milkar pahad ki khushhali/samridhi evam vikas ke liye sarthak prayas karna hoga. kyon na ham sab kuch aise raste chune jisse ham pahad ke prati apne kartavya ka nirvahan kar saken.
aap sabka bhai….Rajesh Naithani…Lucknow.
