I congratulate all of you for the discipline and courage you have shown and still showing. I also congratulate all of you for one specific thing. You have kept full control on your minds and did not failed to false rumours. You have kept your calm as you have been keeping for last many years. I must congratulate you and salute you for keeping yourself firm and not going behind some social evils and doing wrong socially. I thank you personally for standing up firmly against the bad event masters and masterminds if there are any, who want to disturb and spoil the good relations which the common people have among them. The common people never want communal riots and they want to live and let live others nicely. I also congratulate you all for keeping out all the differences including political differences and helping the District Collector , District Superintendent of Police and the District Civil Sergeon , who have done outstanding work and who have shown tremendous courage while handling everything. I am proud of all of you as you have shown complete discipline and unity in fighting the Corona virus. I salute here to the District Administration , the Police department and  all the doctors, nurses, wardboys, sweepers and everybody in hospitals as well as the Aasha workers  ! I also congratulate to the different political leaders and their followers. All my friends in media have equally fought this fight. All the reporters have reported from the front while risking their lives ! Many helping organisations came ahead with their helping hands like God's hand ! All of you have achieved a remarkable achievement and you deserve love from the bottom of my heart ! Keep it intact and show the discipline and unity in coming future. Also be cautious all the time and take care in coming days . I thank you once again ! Please take care . Best luck !

Ganga of Rajapur

Ganga of Rajapur

           Ganga is a holy river in Rajapur taluka of Ratnagiri district in Maharashtra state of India. Rajapur is a taluka in the Ratnagiri District in the Konkan region of Maharashtra State in India. It was one of the famous market in historical times. The great king Shivaji had visited this historical place. It was a safe port in the konkan area. It is on the banks of Arjuna river. British colony was there. The famous temple of Dhutpapeshwar is also in this city. There is also a river named Ganga in Rajapur. It is called Rajapur Ganga. There are 14 ponds (kundas) which suddenly get filled with the flowing water. The water flows there for three months and goes back suddenly as it comes. This happens after every three years. But as an exception, sometimes this happens in the next following year too. But this is rare. There are hot water's small ponds called zare in local language at Unhale village of Rajapur.

Corona virus in my city

The corona has entered in my city Ratnagiri. There have been three cases until now. Few areas in the city have been sealed.The effect of locked down is generally good in the city. Very few grocery shops are opened. There are not many people on the roads. The banks are opened. People are going for the very essential tasks. They are using the mask now. Few days before there were some issues between the medical staff inquiring in homes about the sick persons and the local people in one or two areas. Police have handled such incidents very wisely , hence everything is under control now. Police are patrolling very nicely. Administration is working as per the standards set in corona virus conditions. Some of the medical staff is going door to door and making inquiries daily. The administration, the police and the medical staff including the Aasha employees are taking every precaution in this regard. There is not much fear of course in the city. But everybody is taking care now. In fact, everybody must ! Now the police are continously taking rounds even in the surrounded village areas too ! Continuous checking is going on. There are few check posts to. When people don't have self discipline, the police have to teach them and they are doing their best. We are thankfull to the Collectorate, the police department and the doctors, nurses, wardboys , peons , sweepers, the Aasha employees and even the people who are taking the locked down very seriously and staying at home. Let's hope that the corona virus go out of this world.
