Panchota mein aakhri salaam, gaon chup sa ho gaya

Panchota, Didwana-Kuchaman ke is gaon mein Monday shaam ko woh manzar tha jo log lambe time tak yaad rakhenge. IAF ke transport aircraft crash mein jaan ganwane wale Agniveer Vayu ka antim sanskar yahin hua. Ghar ke log, padosi aur gaon ke kai log chup-chaap khade rahe, jaise har kisi ke paas kehne ko shabd kam pad gaye hon. Sabse bhaari pal woh tha jab chhote bhai ne chita ko aag di. Isse pehle antim yatra gaon ke raaste se nikli, aur har mod par log bas haath jodkar khade dikhai diye. Public representatives bhi maujood rahe, par us shaam ka asli rang koi bhashan nahi, balki gaon ki woh sannata bhari ekjutta thi. Aise mauke par Panchota ka scene yaad dilata hai ki fauj ki khabar sirf headline nahi hoti. Uske peechhe ghar ka darwaza, maa-baap ki aankh aur bhai ka kaandha hota hai. Gaon ne ek apne ko alvida kaha, aur us alvida mein izzat bhi thi, dard bhi. Bas itna hi.
