Spl Story;Chashoti Cloudburst Tragedy: Hindu-Muslim Unity Shines in Doda, Janmashtami Celebrations Cancelled Slug-1508ZS_KTR_TRAGEDY_SPL_R By Raja Rehber Jamal Location: Doda, Jammu and Kashmir Anchor: In the aftermath of the devastating cloudburst in the Chashoti area of Kishtwar, a heartwarming example of communal harmony and compassion emerged from Doda district, where members of the Hindu and Muslim communities have come together to help the stranded pilgrims of the Machail Mata Yatra. With the Yatra temporarily suspended following the natural disaster, several yatris found themselves stranded. In response, locals across communities in Doda opened their homes and community halls, providing shelter, food, and medical help. Two injured pilgrims were brought to GMC Doda. Sadly, one of them, a woman, succumbed to her injuries, while the other has been referred to GMC Jammu for advanced treatment. To ensure all necessary arrangements, DDC Chairman Doda Dhananter Singh Kotwal, MLA Doda East Mehraj Malik, and Deputy Commissioner Harvinder Singh visited GMC Doda and reviewed the situation and readiness of the medical teams. Amid this humanitarian response, Sanatan Dharam Sabha President Gagan Sharma and AAP Spokesperson Farooq Dar personally stepped in, offering accommodation and meals to the distressed pilgrims. In a gesture of mourning and solidarity, Janmashtami celebrations have been cancelled in District Doda this year by local religious groups and civil society. This tragic event, though marked by loss, has also brought forth a strong message of unity, humanity, and the spirit of Jammu and Kashmir — where communities rise above differences to stand by one another in times of crisis.
