LAHORE (The Thursday Times) — Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab ne Kot Addu ke qareeb Taunsa Barrage par darya kinare aik resort khol diya hai, jo is liye banaya gaya hai ke sayyah duniya ke nayab tareen mammal janwaron mein se aik, maadoomi ke khatre se dochar Sindh ki dolphin ko usi darya ke kinare se dekh saken jahan woh rehti hai.
Wazir-e-Aala Maryam Nawaz ne iftitah ka elan karte hue bataya ke TDCP Dolphin Resort Darya-e-Sindh ke kinare 120 kanal par phaila hua hai aur is mein kamre, khane ki sahulat aur pani ki taraf khulne wale terrace hain. Unhon ne likha: “Tasawwur kijiye ke aap subah ki chai pi rahe hain aur nayab nabeena Sindhi dolphin darya ki lehron mein uchhal rahi hai.” Unhon ne ise aik mahol dost tafreeh gah qarar diya jo mehman nawazi aur jangli hayat ke tahaffuz ko yakja karti hai.
Taunsa hi kyun: barrage ke ird gird Darya-e-Sindh ka yeh hissa dahaiyon se dolphin ke liye mehfooz ilaqa hai, aur is ke buffer zone mein mahi geeri par pabandi hai. Yeh janwar, jise maqami taur par bhulan kaha jata hai, sirf Darya-e-Sindh ke nizam mein paya jata hai. Yeh taqreeban nabeena hai aur gadle pani mein awaz ke zariye rasta aur khurak talash karta hai, aur saans lene ke liye lamha bhar ko satah par aata hai. Punjab mein is ki tadad ka andaza taqreeban 660 hai, aur June mein soobe ne Jampur se Guddu Barrage tak darya ke taqreeban 198 kilometre par mushtamil doosri panahgah ka elan kiya.
Jane se pehle: Taunsa Barrage Darya-e-Sindh par zila Muzaffargarh ke Kot Addu aur Dera Ghazi Khan ke Taunsa ke darmiyan waqe hai, aur Multan se sarak ke zariye pahuncha ja sakta hai. Hafte tak naye resort ke kamron ke kiraye aur booking ki tafseelat jari nahin ki gayi thin, is liye rawangi se pehle tourism corporation se maloom kar lein. Dolphins sirf aik lamhe ke liye satah par aati hain, is liye sabr saath rakhein, aur agar ho sake to doorbeen bhi. Sayyahon ko fasla rakhna chahiye, kinare par rehna chahiye aur darya mein kabhi khurak ya kachra nahin phenkna chahiye.
Dolphin ki baqa ab bhi khud darya par munhasir hai. Pani ki satah girne par yeh janwar aksar nehron mein phans jate hain, jaisa ke is saal ke selab ke baad Dera Ghazi Khan ke qareeb aik dolphin ke saath hua. Tahaffuz-e-mahol ke karkunon ke liye aisa resort jo bhulan ko siyahat ki wajah banaye aur maqami logon ko ise zinda rakhne mein hissa dar banaye, ise bachane ki jaddojehad mein aik khush aaind izafa hai.
