People stood for 44 days to save the pastures
Bikaner | The struggle going on for 44 days to save the
pastures & the oran finally paid off. On Friday on behalf of the state
government after talking to the representatives involved in the movement
consent was given for the protection and development of the pastures and oran land.
After this it was announced to end the ongoing movement under the banner of Gauchar
Bachao Sangharsh Samiti of the state government. Under the leadership of Former
Minister Devi Singh Bhati, this movement was started on the land adjacent to Bikaner
one and a half months ago against the decision of issuing pattas to the
occupants of pasture and oran. Government and district-level officials
interacted with the protesters through video conferences. After giving written
consent from the administration former minister Bharti ended the protest (dharna).
Devkishan Chandak the convener of Gauchar Bachao Sangharsh Samiti told that it
has been a victory of the contribution made by the saints towards the religion
and the oath to resolve and save the pastures.
Bhati and Chandak gathered public support
The strategy made by the former minister Devi Singh Bhati
and DevKishan Chand ‘devshree’ to take the movement to this point was
successful. The movement was kept completely non-political along with religious
people and social progress was made. The storytelling continued unabated. Due
to this the support of women and sadhu also continued. In this way pressure was
put on the government and the movement was successful. Bhati told the
representatives of the government that after examining the policy issued on
December 27 2021 appropriate decisions should be taken. Variety change in the
future more than the prescribed limit or proportion of the total pastureland
