Yaziswa ngamagosa aseBritane eRaj, izikhephe zaseKashmir - ixesha elide zikhuthazwa njengomfanekiso weholide efanelekileyo yaseKashmir - zijongene nekamva elingaqinisekanga. INkundla ePhakamileyo yaseKashmir iyalele ukuba kuvalwe izikhephe zezindlu ezikhupha ilindle kwi-Dal Lake ewohlokayo.
Lusuku oluzolileyo kwisikhephe sendlu eKashmir's Dal Lake, eyona ndawo inomtsalane kubakhenkethi kwikomkhulu lasehlotyeni, iSrinagar.
Umnini wesikhephe sendlu u-Muhammad Yaqoob uthetha ngokuzingca ngabantu abadumileyo ababanjwe zizikhephe zakhe.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, siye sahlalisa [ubambe] uMnu. Zubin Mehta [uMculi], uMphathiswa wezoKhenketho ongasekhoyo [waseIndiya] uMadhavroa Scindia, uRajiv Gandhi, uSonia Gandhi, noNksk. Indira Gandhi,” watsho.
Ngethemba, ndithandazela ixesha elihle labakhenkethi
U-Yaqoob ebenethemba kwaye ethandazela ixesha elihle labakhenkethi. Ungquzulwano kummandla luhlala lubeka amanqaku emibuzo kumaxesha onyaka abakhenkethi. Rhoqo, amaxesha amahle onyaka aguqukele kwi-topsy-turvy ngeveki.
U-Yaqoob uthi bebenenyanga nje enye elungileyo yabakhenkethi, kunyaka ophelileyo, phambi kokuba ukungavisisani ngomhlaba kubangele uqhushululu kummandla, nokuphelisa ixesha lonyaka elithembisayo phambi kwexesha.
Igumbi lokuhlambela kunye nekhitshi inkunkuma ebulala ichibi
Kulo nyaka, abanini bamaphenyane ezindlu babonakala belahlekile. INkundla ePhakamileyo yaseJammu kunye neKashmir yawumisa umsebenzi wabo emva kokuba iBhodi yeSizwe yoLawulo loNgcoliseko ixelele inkundla ukuba igumbi lokuhlambela kunye nenkunkuma yasekhitshini evela kwizikhephe zendlu yayibulala ichibi.
“Ndiyicimile iselula yam kuba uninzi lweearhente zokuhamba eziseMumbai naseGujrat bezindifowunela,” ucacise watsho uYaqoob. Andinazo iimpendulo.
Izazi ngendalo zithi ungcoliseko olungaqwalaselwanga luyonakalisa iDal Lake. Kangangamashumi eminyaka inkunkuma evela esixekweni ibithululelwa echibini. Ikwajongene nongenelelo, ngendlela yeegadi ezidadayo eziphuma kwiziqithi ezingaphakathi kwechibi. Nkqu norhulumente uyavuma ukuba eli chibi liqokelele amanqanaba agqithisileyo esinyithi esinetyhefu, ngenxa yelindle. Lo myalelo wenkundla uza njengoko izazi ngendalo zisithi urhulumente wohlulekile ukunqanda eli chibi lihle ukuba libe mbi.
Abanini bamaphenyane ezindlu benza isifungo sokulwa nomyalelo wenkundla
Kodwa uYaqoob unethemba lokuchophela ityala kwinkundla elandelayo, njengoko abanini-zikhitshane besenza isibhambathiso sokulwa lo myalelo.
USihlalo we-Houseboat Owners Association u-Muhammad Azim Tuman uthi izifundo zangaphambili zifumene izikhephe ezihlala ezindlwini zinoxanduva kuphela kwiipesenti ezintathu zongcoliseko eDal Lake.
“Ukuba izikhephe ezihlala endlwini zinoxanduva lweDal Lake, ngubani onoxanduva nge-Anchar Lake? Ngubani onoxanduva ngeWular [Lake]? Ngubani ojongene neManase [iLake]. Ngubani onoxanduva ngeGilsar? Akukho zikhephe zasendlini apho,” utshilo uTuman.
UTuman uthi lo myalelo wenkundla uza kudala ingxaki yokuphila, hayi kubanini bezikhitshane kuphela, kodwa nakumawakawaka abantu ngokuxhomekeke ngokuthe ngqo okanye ngokungathanga ngqo kubakhenkethi ababamkelayo.
Iinkqubo zonyango ezincinci zinokunqanda ungcoliseko
Umyalelo wenkundla ukhulula izikhephe ezihlala ezindlini ezifumana iindlela ezizezinye zokulahla ukungcola echibini. IGunya likarhulumente loPhuhliso lwamaLake kunye neMigwaqo yaManzi liphonononga amathuba okufakela amaziko okucoca amanzi amdaka amancinci kwizikhephe. Imifuziselo emine yee-STP ezincinci zidweliswe ngokufutshane ukulungiselela ulingo.
“Ingxaki intsonkothile kakhulu,” utshilo uSabah-u-Solim, isazinzulu esinegunya lophuhliso. “Zimalunga ne-1,200 izikhephe ezihlala endlwini. Sifuna ukuba nenkqubo eza kusebenza kwaye isebenze ngendlela engabizi kakhulu kula maphenyane ahlala ezindlwini.”
USolim uthi badwelise ngokufutshane amaziko okucoca amanzi amdaka amancinci ukuze avavanywe emva kokukhangela iminyaka emibini kwaye ngoku bafuna ixesha elipheleleyo labakhenkethi ukuze bavavanywe. Nalapho, izikhephe ezininzi zasendlwini zinokufumana i-STP ecetyiswayo ibiza kakhulu.
Nangona kunjalo, uTuman uthi abaqhubi be-houseboat baya kuzama ukuthenga ixesha enkundleni, de babe kwimeko yokufaka inkqubo efanelekileyo.
