Kargil martyr’s statue damaged

Jhajjar, December 1
While the entire nation is saluting soldiers who laid down their lives fighting terrorists in Mumbai recently, a six-feet statue of a Kargil martyr was reportedly damaged by some miscreants in Dhakla village, 14 km from here, last night.
Family members of the martyr have lodged a complaint in this regard. They have also demanded that the district administration should ensure the safekeeping of the martyr’s statue.
The incident came to light this morning when some villagers found the statue of the Kargil martyr, Dharamvir Singh, vandalised. They immediately brought the matter to the notice of the family members of the martyr. The family members, along with other villagers, reached the spot and informed the police about the incident.
Deputy superintendent of police Abhey Singh rushed to the spot and inspected the situation. Later, it registered a case in this regard. This is not the first instance of its kind in the district.
The statue of Sir Chhotu Ram at Ahir village here had been vandalised twice. Inquiries revealed that idols of Hindu deities, including Shiva, Hanuman and Ganesha, had been damage in the past.
Idols of Lord Shiva, Ganesha and some other gods were found desecrated in the Shiv temple at Noona Majra village here on August 8. Villagers had blocked the road for several hours in protest against the incident.
Thereafter, on August 18, miscreants damaged a six-feet idol of lord Hanuman in Sikanderpur village here.
A senior police officer is of the view that most of these incidents were the handiwork of drunkards and drug addicts. Most of the statues are not properly illuminated at night, which gives these elements an additional reason to flock there in the evenings.
He said such incidents could only be ruled out if social organisations joined hands with the administration in maintaining these places properly.
