Bihar ke Purnia zile mein ek aisi dukhad ghatna ghati hai jo dikhati hai ki kabhi-kabhi khushi se zyada dard ek pal mein aa jata hai. Khajuraha panchayat ke Bhanwara gaon mein shukrawar ki raat ko aag lag gayi. Is aag ne 32 parivaron ka ghar aur unki saari jama-poonji ko raakh kar diya. Sabse dukh ki baat yeh hai ki yeh aag usi waqt lagi jab ek parivar apni beti ka 'phaldaan' sanskar karne wala tha, jo agle din hona tha.
Kya Hua Tha Bhanwara Gaon Mein?
Gaon walon ke mutabik, raat ko achanak aag ki lehren dekhai di. Aag itni tezi se faili ki log apna ghar-baar chhod kar bhaagne par majboor ho gaye. Ghar, kapde, ration, kheti ke tools, sab kuch jal gaya. Dainik Bhaskar ki report ke mutabik, aag lagne ki wajah abhi tak saaf nahi hai. Police ne jaanch shuru kar di hai.
Gaon ke logon ne bataaya ki aag lagte hi unhon ne ek dusre ki madad ki. Kisi ne sarkar ya fire brigade ka intezaar nahi kiya. Unhon ne gaon mein maujood pani ke pump set chalaaye aur aag bujhane ki koshish shuru kar di. Aapas ki isi mehnat aur milkar kaam karne ki wajah se aag zyada failne se bach gayi, warna nuksaan aur bhi bada ho sakta tha.
Phaldaan Kya Hota Hai Aur Kyon Important Hai?
Jo parivar is aag ka shikaar hua, uski beti ka 'phaldaan' sanskar hona tha. Bihar aur Purvanchal ke kai hisson mein yeh ek mahatvapurna sanskar hota hai. Isme beti ki saubhagya aur lambi umr ki kaamna ke liye use phal khilaye jaate hain. Ye ek samuhik khushi ka avsar hota hai, jisme parivar aur rishtedar milkar shubhkaamnaen dete hain.
"Kal hamari beti ka phaldaan tha. Saara saman, kapde, khane ka saaman, sab taiyar tha. Aaj subah utha toh sab kuch raakh pada hai. Ab kya karenge, samajh nahi aa raha." — Aag mein sab kuch khone wale ek parivar ke pramukh ne Dainik Bhaskar se kaha.
Is ghatna ne do chizen bahut clear kar di hain:
- Pehli: Gaon-dehat mein aag se bachav ki suvidhaen (jaise fire brigade) bahut kam ya door hoti hain. Logon ko apne balboote par hi bharosa karna padta hai.
- Doosri: Ek chhoti si galti ya hadsa ek parivar ki saari umeedon aur taiyariyon ko mitti mein mila sakta hai.
Gaon Walon Ne Aag Kaise Rokne Ki Koshish Ki?
Jab aag lagi, toh gaon walon ne ek joot kar kaam kiya. Unki koshishon ke kuch pahlu yeh the:
- Gaon ke yuvaon ne sabse pehle pump set chalaaye aur paani ki pipe le kar aag ki taraf daude.
- Mahilaon aur bachon ne safe jagah par jaane mein ek dusre ki madad ki.
- Buzurg logon ne aag na failaye iske liye gharon ke beech ke raste saaf karne mein madad ki.
- Paani ki kami na ho, isliye kuch log dusre tube wells se paani laaye.
Ye sab isliye karna pada kyunki fire brigade gaon tak pahunchne mein waqt lagta. Ek sarkari report bhi dikhati hai ki dehat ilakon mein aag se bachav ke infrastructure mein kami hai.
Hamaari Baat: Aag Nahin, Behasiat Asli Dushman Hai
Seedhi baat karein toh yeh ghatna sirf ek aag ki kahani nahi hai. Ye ek aina hai jo hamare dehat ilakon ki haalat dikhata hai.
Ek taraf, hum technology ki baatein karte hain, doosri taraf aaj bhi Bihar ke ek gaon mein 32 parivar apna sab kuch kho baithe hain, aur unki madad ke liye fire brigade time par nahi pahunchti. Sarkar ka dhyan in chhoti jaghon par bhi hona chahiye. Har gaon mein chhota sa fire station ya kam se kam ek trained volunteer group hona chahiye.
Dusri baat, jo parivar apni beti ke khushiyon ke liye taiyar ho raha tha, aaj uske paas khud rehne ko ghar nahi hai. Aise waqt mein sarkar aur samaj dono ko aage aana chahiye. Sirf news ban kar report karna kaam nahi hai. In 32 parivaron ko fauran rehne ki jagah, kapde, khana, aur fir se apne paon par khade hone ka mauka dena zaroori hai.
Aakhir mein, gaon walon ki joot kar ki gayi mehnat taarif ke kabil hai. Unhone apni hi taakat se bade nuksaan ko rok diya. Lekin yeh sawal bana rehta hai: Kya har baar gaon walon ko hi apni jaan hatheli par rakh kar aag se ladna chahiye? Iska jawab 'nahi' hona chahiye.
