The people of Kashmir Valley are anticipating presents from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is scheduled to arrive here on Thursday, including peace, prosperity, and much more.
Despite the early morning cold, people from far and wide are arriving in Srinagar, and the typically tranquil winter city has come to life on Thursday with the first light of the day.
Buses and private vehicles are coming here to see the prime minister, carrying people from Baramulla town, Uri border town, Kupwara, Handwara, Lolab, Tangmarg, Bandipora, Kangan, Ganderbal, Kokernag, Achabal, Pahalgam, Khansahib, Beerwah, Chadoora, Anantnag, Shopian, Pulwama, and more than two dozen other places.
To guarantee that people can travel to and from Bakshi Stadium, the primary location of Prime Minister Modi’s public speech, with ease, the traffic department and the security branch of the J&K Police have released comprehensive advice.
The president of the BJP’s J&K unit, Ravinder Raina, informed reporters that he anticipates 2 lakh people to attend the event.
The atmosphere and excitement with which the participants are arriving in the city is what matters most, even though the precise number won’t be known until after the event begins.
Nazir Ahmad, 41, was a resident of the Baramulla district’s Rafiabad neighborhood. He can’t wait to meet the man who ended the unrest and uncertainty in Kashmir.
“My kids don’t worry about getting sent home by stoners when they get to school. My wife takes care of domestic tasks while I work in my apple orchard, and I don’t have to worry about myself or the kids getting home safely. “I am going to see and listen to Prime Minister Modi today, and he made this possible,” he remarked.
Everyone in the country-businesspeople, professors, transporters, houseboat owners, Shikarawallahs, farmers, orchardists, government workers, owners of minor industrial units, and hoteliers-expects gifts from the prime minister.
“We anticipate that Prime Minister Modi would make our lives better. Kashmir now anticipates great things from the big guy, according to 47-year-old Srinagar city retail store owner Sajad Ahmad.
Most of the attendees at the Prime Minister’s open rally are hoping for some positive news that will immediately impact their lives when they get home.
Living in a location along the line of control (LoC), 38-year-old Shakeel Lone from the border town of Uri is mostly worried about maintaining calm in this area. “My top priority is border peace.” The stability and calm on the LoC are essential to my family, my house, and all else I own. Additionally, Prime Minister Modi is the one who can guarantee my family’s security.” He declared, “I want to see the Prime Minister face-to-face while he discusses his vision for the people of Kashmir.”
Those who work in the hospitality industry, such as those who run hotels, taxis, houseboats, and guest houses, are optimistic about the Prime Minister’s impending announcement of a package for the travel and tourist sector.
“Last year, we saw a spike in tourists. This year, we anticipate even more people visiting the Valley. More and better infrastructure is required for tourism than what we now have. We require rewards for doing so. Gowhar, a 56-year-old hotel owner, said, “I’m sure he loves to see Kashmir tourism grow and for that to happen, we need his continued patronage.”
A 39-year-old daily rated employee at the Jal Shakti Department is Imran Fida Bhat. He has worked for the department for more than 20 years. Like hundreds of others, he has been waiting for their services to be regularized.
In J&K, there are 63,000 families. The department has received the best years of our lives. No previous administration has yet to fulfill its pledge to regularize our services. I’ve come to witness the Prime Minister taking a constructive action on our behalf. “To Mumkin Hai, Modi Hai,” he exclaimed.
“With just Rs 9,000 a month, we have all our hopes pinned on him,” Imran remarked, recounting how hard it is to send two kids to school and keep the wolf at bay.
While guaranteeing that individuals can move freely, security has been strengthened inside and outside Bakshi Stadium.
In order to guarantee that no private drone or quadcopter is visible in the sky during the VVIP visit, police have designated the city as a “Temporary Red Zone” today.
To ensure that the Prime Minister and anyone attending the public protest are completely safe, a multi-tiered security ring has been put in place.
