editor January 7, 2024Leave a comment

SRINAGAR, Jan 6: At Tulmulla, the Mata Kheer Bhawani Temple offered a complete makeover with the potential to create jobs for about 1.75 lakh pilgrims every year. The temple administration is hopeful about a rise in numbers in 2024 given the increasing foot traffic. The people in charge of the temple's operations told "that the numbers now exceed those from prior years, attributing this increase to better infrastructure and a generally favourable atmosphere. "We have seen a significant rise in the number of pilgrims, and at the same time, we have observed an increase in the number of young people travelling to historical sites and temples. We expect the number to increase much more this year," the temple's chief priest said. He continued by saying that during the Amarnath Yatra, they also saw a crowd of between 50,000 and 60,000 pilgrims passing through the temple on their way back from the trek to the Holy Cave. Reena, a pilgrim visiting the temple with her family, observed, "There has been a significant improvement in the facilities provided to pilgrims here compared to earlier times, and this could be one of the factors contributing to the increased footfall." The management of the temple declared that they had improved the surrounding area of the temple in a number of ways, with an emphasis on modernising the facilities.Muslims are also making a contribution in this way, making sure pilgrims have the finest experience possible, which reflects the altruistic service that these people provide to devotees from all across the nation. Some tourists even make contact with people who were formerly their neighbours when they were residents of this area. It's more than just a visit for them. Locals reported that a rise in commercial activity surrounding the temple as a result of the increased pilgrimage has given rise to several job opportunities for the community. "A few years ago, there wasn't much activity at the local market, and when there was, it was usually on Mela days. But as of late, things appear to be moving in the direction of a general improvement," said a local.

He said that the goal of the past nine years has been to guarantee equitable and inclusive economic development for all segments of the nation's diverse society, free from discrimination or appeasement. The people of Jammu and Kashmir, who are now actively participating in India's progress, have been the main beneficiaries of this mission. According to Rana, the significant change occurred with the repeal of Article 370, which made all the difference in August 2019 by removing barriers to the implementation of several government projects and welfare schemes and putting an end to the denial and deprivation of marginalised groups for seventy years. He declared that ground-breaking projects are gathering steam and will be advanced during Prime Minister Modi's third term. "Prime Minister Modi believes in carving out a nation where prosperity knows no socio-economic boundaries by empowering the poor, the youth, and women, promoting skill development, fostering innovation, and encouraging investment," Rana said, adding that the BJP's unwavering commitment to creating a stronger and Viksit Bharat calls for collective support.He expressed hope that the people of India, regardless of their religion, caste, or geographic location, would once again rise to the occasion and guide the country towards its objective by helping to realise a prosperous and vibrant India. He said that these efforts, along with the Prime Minister's dynamic and progressive leadership, will undoubtedly make India the Vishwaguru. In-depth discussion of the nation's achievements in science and technology, economic affairs, and development was provided by Devender Rana, who helped India rise to the position of fifth economic power in the world. He predicted that the nation would rise to the position of third economic power in the globe within the following five years.
