Panchna dam par baat-baat ka nahi, baithak ka time

Panchna dam ka mamla sirf ek reservoir ka nahi, poore ilaake ke paani ke hisaab-kitaab ka hai. Ek taraf sookha aur paani ki tangi ka dard, doosri taraf bhara hua jalashaya — bas yahi woh irony hai jo logon ko baar-baar is mudde ki taraf kheench laati hai. Jaipur mein is par jo baat uthi, uska matlab bhi yahi tha ki faisla sirf slogans se nahi, sabki sunwai se nikle. Yahan asli baat ye hai ki gaon, kheti, peene ke paani aur purani zimmedariyon ka jod bahut nazuk hota hai. Isliye dialogue ka matlab kamzori nahi, samajhdaari hota hai. Ek local sa naya saath-baat ka mahaul bhi ban sakta hai — ki pehle sab apni baat rakhen, phir milkar raasta nikalein. Aaj jab paani ki kami har jagah chubh rahi hai, Panchna jaisa mamla yaad dilata hai: tanki bharna hi kaafi nahi, bharose ki nali bhi saaf honi chahiye.
