NERUL: In a time where there is a lot of unrest in the nation due to terrorist attacks, the Nerul Police felt the need to organize a program on Communal harmony at the Ashraya Hall, Nerul, Navi Mumbai on 4 August 2015.

Shri Prabhat Ranjan, Commissioner of Police and Shri Vijay Chauhan, Addl. Commissioner of Police were the Chief Guests at the program which was organized under the guidance of Shri Shahji Umap, DCP – Zone 1 and Suresh Mengde, DCP (Crime) and the invitees were Shri Dhanraj Daima, ACP and Smt. Sangita Alphanso, Sr. PI, Nerul Police Station.

The awareness program were attended by over 500 people which included top religious heads, businessmen, youth and various local leaders. A few of them including Kuresh Siddiqui, Fr. Deepak, Samsher Singh and L G Jungare spoke about unity, love and being together to safe guard the city and the nation. They also assured the Navi Mumbai Police that they would leave no stones unturned to see that Peace shall prevail in the city.

“We should sink our personal differences in larger interests of the country and adopt a common approach to national problems if we want to achieve the laudable goal of national integration and communal harmony. The above has been very true in the case of Navi Mumbai wherein when there was so much turmoil in the country on so many occasions, Navi Mumbai was the most peaceful city in India” said Prabhat Ranjan.

“The need of the hour is to fight the forces of disunity and disharmony and to work ceaselessly for the achievement of national harmony and peace. Communal harmony is the coming together of all the communities of the country and living together with a sense of brotherhood and equality, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion etc” said Suresh Mengde.

“We have to make all our brethren feel that the whole country belongs to them, that there is no high and low in our country, that there is no distinction between religions” said Shahji Umap.

Talking to Sangita Alphanso, she said “Atrocities are being committed in our country, day in and day out, in the name of caste, sect, community, social and economic differences and divergent political veiwpoints. Having said that, I am also glad to state that the people of Navi Mumbai especially Nerul are so peace loving and I have never had to deal with such issues”.

“The meaning of Harmony is the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce a pleasing effect. So if all of us join together as one, we will also be able to give a pleasing environment to our city and nation” said Dr. Jayakar Ellis, General Secretary – India, National Christian Council.
