In last 2-3 years, scarcity of rainfall has caused
acute drought situation in Marathwada. Bhartiya JainSanghtana(BJS) is trying to work give relief to the people here through its
different works. With the aim, that the rainfall water
gets stored in ponds, lakes and rivers in ample quantity, BJS had did the same
work of widening and deepening of ponds,
lakes in 2013 at Beed District and its positive effects are seen in such
acute drought situation too. Same type of work of widening and
deepening is being carried out in Marathwada region currently. Huge silt was
gathered in the rivers Chousala, Sindphana.
So even after
having enough of water storage capacity, these rivers got dried prematurely. To avoid such problem in
future, BJS deployed machinery on these rivers to clean it and worked
tirelessly for 106 hours . Due to this work, the area of
Chousala river widened by 0.75 kms,and deepened by almost
70 feet, while Sindpfana was widened by 1 km. Apart from this Kesapuri Parbhani,
Karpara, Bindusara,Dongri rivers at Beed district
are undergoing its cleanliness. Even the work of removing
silt from the small pond at Kankaleshwar temple is underway.
Such works are also going on at Latur and Osmanabad
districts. At Shirur Anantpal, the work was started in the
presence of Shri Sunil Kocheta & Municipal Council's Vice
Chairman Santosh Shete. Channelizing at Ekondi, Taluka
Umarga, District Osmanabad is underway jointly with localities here. A
remarkable thing here is that, 15 past students of BJS of this same village are
actively participating in this activity . All this work, is going on under the
guidance of BJS's founder President Shri. Shantilal Muttha, Shri Rajendra
Munot, Shri Koshor Pagaria, Shri.Ashok Pawar and others.
