Congress Calls for Ajmer Bandh Over Anasagar Lake Crisis
Ajmer is set to observe a complete bandh on Friday, July 24, following a strong call by the Ajmer City District Congress Committee. The protest, spearheaded by Committee President Dr. Rajkumar Jaipal, aims to spotlight the alarming condition of Anasagar Lake and the alleged negligence of the local administration.
According to Congress District President Dr. Jaipal, the iconic Anasagar Lake is currently in a deplorable state, emitting a pervasive foul odor. This deteriorating situation has raised serious concerns among residents, with fears of a significant health crisis looming over the city due to what they describe as administrative apathy.
Community Support for the Movement
In a bid to amplify their voice, the Ajmer City District Congress Committee has appealed to a broad spectrum of local organizations for their support. Social, trade, religious, and civic bodies across the city have been urged to join this public movement and ensure the bandh's success.
The committee emphasizes that this is a collective effort to pressure authorities into taking immediate and effective measures to restore the lake's health and safeguard public well-being.
Essential Services to Operate Normally
While the bandh aims to bring the city to a standstill in protest, critical services will operate without disruption. The organizers have made it clear that essential facilities are exempt from the shutdown.
- Hospitals
- Medical Stores
- Ambulance Services
- Other vital necessities
These services will continue to function normally, ensuring that citizens' immediate health and safety needs are not compromised during the protest. The focus remains squarely on highlighting the environmental and public health concerns surrounding Anasagar Lake.
