Anna Seen In Every Udaipurite

Udaipur Against Corruption

Udaipur Against Corruption

The protest against the government for the Jan Lokpal bill and support for the movement initiated by Anna and his team rages fury in the corrupt population of entire country. Every town every city of India is supporting Anna with full enthusiasm. Our own Udaipur today witnessed many protests and processions in many forms, the complete day. Efforts were made to make public aware of many facts and also to make them volunteer and support in such movements..

The protest in front of the collectorate also continued today. Most of the other events took place at fateh sagar where there was possibility for maximum public presence on account of sunday. Beginning with a march by college and school students in the evening, followed by march and protest by the facebook users, organised by LCU(Lets Chat Udaipur) and UdaipurBlog, where there was a nukkad naatak(ie. Skit) by Mayank Wadhwani and group titled ‘Corruption ki Class’ where the involvment of corruption in day to day life of a human being was depicted. In parallel, there was a silent protest by the association of artists at fs.
After that, another candle march by the udaipur youth took place.

Team UdaipurBlog supports Anna Hazare and every such movement in all possible ways, and we also ask upon the entire udaipur and every reader to cooperate and support in this movement, and always stand against corruption.

Udaipur Bandh – “Anna Udaipur Tumhare Sath Hain”

 

IMG1Today Udaipur witnessed an efficient bandh throughout the day after Udaipur Chamber of Commerce along with Bhartiya Janta Party took an initiative to support the Jan Lokpal bill and our national hero Anna Hazare and supported a bandh. The bandh produced a powerful percussion against the government and the corrupt government officials.

To uphold the noble cause of driving corruption out of our country, people of the city showed their support for Anna Hazare. One was easily able to sense the involvement of common masses in the protest while passing through the main markets of the city. Today the ever-swarming streets, markets and circles had an atypical silence in the air. A number of schools, colleges, shops, business groups remain closed. But the emergency services were kept free from bandh.

Agitation was felt on every face, be it a school student or a senior citizen, a college student or a businessman. Many peaceful processions were taken out at different places with people holding banners high up in the air and shouting slogans like “ek do teen char, band karo ye attyachar” and “jab tak sooraj chand rahega, anna tera naam rahega”. Protests were held even in front of the “Collectorate”. Traffic was stopped at Surajpol and Delhi Gate. Udaipies also observed an half an hour silence at Fatehsagar and sustained the non-violent spirit of the protest.

At a whole, the Udaipur Bandh received a powerful participation from public which showed that each and everyone is united with great leaders like Anna Hazare, Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, etc. who are striving for providing a better future to every Indian.

We all want to see India free of this virus named “Corruption”… Jai Hind!!

Sisarma Continues to Flow

Monsoon is at its IMG_0110peak in lakecity, and the charm and beauty of the city is worth watching these days with the water level of the lakes still going up.

Sisarma is flowing at 3 feet from the last two days of heavy rainfall in the region. Pichola was recorded with an increase of 6 inches, Badi with 2 feet, Udaisagar with 4 inch and Fatehsagar with 1 inch and the level of Madar touched the level of 18 feet and gates can be open at any time. The Jakham dam, T.D. Dam and Bageri ka Naka also overflowed.

Faces glowed with a smile after seeing the lakes sparkling with water. Everyone is optimistic to see an active monsoon in the following days. Hope that our major lakes like Fatehsagar, Pichola, and Badi will be brimming in the near future and continue to enchant the Udaipies and the tourists.

Here are some more Pictures Clicked By Mujtaba R.G. !!!

Udaipur Youth Supported Anna Hazare’s Movement

In protest of Anna Hazare’s arrest on the issue of the JanLokpal bill, a candle march rally was organized today on the 17th of august 2011 at the core of the lakecity at the Fatehsagar lakeside (paal) by all the youth of Udaipur. This great public protest and gathering of about 300 Udaipurites was in the support of Hazare’s Anti-corruption (Janlokpall bill) movement. One was able to feel the anger in the atmosphere against the government’s move of arresting Anna and his follows.

The spark off protests against the government’s move of arresting Anna and his followers created anger in the whole atmosphere. The step was initiated by a few regular readers of UdaipurBlog at a dedicated Chat room for them, and was wholeheartedly supported by all the members of UdaipurBlog. The whole spark was enlightened online only and no offline authority was involved here.

UdaipurBlog team is thankful to all the people of Udaipur for their massive support and we kindly appeal all of them to maintain a supportive and peaceful atmosphere in the city, and to oppose corruption in any form

Here are few glimpses from the march at Fatehsagar in protest of the Anna Hazare’s arrest and refusal for demonstration by the Indian Government
