Muslim community offers Prayers for Abundant Rains
Udupi: The district has been facing severe water crisis. Residential apartments, hotels and other business establishments have been badly affected. The Baje dam in Udupi which is the source of water for the people coming under the purview of Udupi CMC has water only for another 8 days. People are offering prayers seeking rains.
The Muslim community offered prayers at the Hash Miya Masjid praying for abundant rains.
Moulana Ashim Umri who offered prayers in the Hash Miya Masjid speaking to the media persons said that the water crisis is severe, we are continuously offering prayers to Allah seeking good rains. We need to seek Allah’s mercy for good rains and also seek his blessing and beg forgiveness for our sins. The almighty God will shower his blessing, he added.
Iqbal said that prayers have been offered to the almighty God seeking good rains since people and animals are suffering from severe water crisis. The prayers are offered for abundant rains, he added.
Masjid President Zakria Assadi, CMC Councilor Hassan Ajjarkad, Zama Pallavkar and others were present.
Yes – Pray to imaginary god for rains. Once the monsoon season starts, offer ‘seeyaala abhisheka’ or ‘ksheera abhisheka’ to stop rains. Meanwhile, do nothing to improve water storage and distribution network. India is the mother ship of ignorant people.
The problems with Indians is that most of them are incapable of thinking and do not possess fertile imagination. That is why netas, godmen, swamis, maulvis and others take them for a ride with the gift-of-their-gab or showmanship, viz.

Most of India gets heavy rains during monsoons, which flows away as waste. Come summer, then we cry about water shortage.
Educated netas, preferably technocrats (and not babas and swamies), who are capable of writing fluently both in English and mother-tongue should be sent to Israel to study water harvesting and irrigation techniques and submit reports, technical drawings and photos. Israel are also leaders in solar technology and Indians can extensively tap this source of energy.
Water problems can be solved easily.
