*Bal Raj Parihar Warns Against Cow Smuggling, Appeals for Communal Harmony in Paddar*
Paddar
Provincial Gau Urja Pramukh Shri Bal Raj Parihar has issued a strong warning against cow smuggling and activities that could disturb communal harmony in Paddar. He stressed that the region’s long-standing brotherhood and mutual respect among people of all religions must be protected at all costs.
Parihar appealed to the Muslim community and members of all other communities to maintain peace, uphold communal harmony and remain united against any attempt to hurt religious sentiments or create divisions among people. He asserted that anyone attempting to disturb the peaceful atmosphere of Paddar or disrespect any religion should not be spared under the law.
He also urged Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar to closely examine the issue of permissions being granted for the transportation of cattle. While acknowledging the administration’s steps to regulate such activities, Parihar expressed concern that cattle were allegedly being transported from Paddar on a regular basis, reportedly under official permissions.
Seeking stricter monitoring and transparency, he requested the Deputy Commissioner to look into the matter thoroughly and ensure that no permission is misused and that all transportation complies with applicable laws and regulations.
Parihar further issued a stern warning that any person from outside the area found involved in illegal activities related to cow smuggling or attempts to disturb communal harmony would face legal action.
Reiterating his commitment to peace and unity, Parihar said that preserving Paddar’s tradition of brotherhood and ensuring respect for every religion must remain a collective responsibility. He appealed to the administration to take appropriate action and urged the public to maintain peace, vigilance and communal harmony.
