KUPWARA: Exposure to the areas outside Jammu and Kashmir has helped the Senior Citizens of Jammu and Kashmir in
appreciating the importance of national integration & unity in
diversity in the country.
With this good intention twenty eight Senior
Citizens with four soldiers from 47 Rashtriya Rifles (BIHAR) area of
responsibility visited Karnal Agriculture Farm and Dairy Farm & Hissar AgricultureUniversity, Stud Farm & Cattle Development
Centre etc from 06 Dec 2011 to 17 Dec 2011.
They were given a warm welcome on their arrival at Charkut, Kupwara by
Col KC Saklani, Deputy Commander 8 Sector Rashtriya Rifles. The Senior
Citizens were appreciative of the efforts by the Army in organizing the
educational tour, which gave them an opportunity to upgrade their
knowledge about agriculture & animal husbandry.
They interacted with
local people and also enjoyed the beautiful monuments while visiting
Karnal & Hissar. They witnessed the developmental activities in the
cities and also experienced the Senior Citizens of their ages conducting
themselves and interacting with the Army without any inhibitions.
On
returning, some of the elders in their exuberance told that the tour has
been an eye opener for them, because of the bonhomie and
courtesy that was extended to them by the people with whom they got an
opportunity to interact. They wished Jammu and Kashmir could become as peaceful as other states of India. Inshallah!
