Harsimrat Kaur Badal
Amritsar April 28 : The Amritsar district administration today made use of a unique way to motivate the youth to participate in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2014. the administration, headed by the Deputy Commissioner cum district Electoral Officer, Ravi Bhagat, held a candle lighting ceremony at the Khalsa College grounds in the evening today, in which hundreds of youths, majority of whom were first time voters, lit a candle each as a sort of pledge to cast their vote on 30th april 2014, when Punjab will have its Polling day. The candles were lit on a raised platform, which glowed in a heavenly sparkle and the very sight aroused feelings of patriotism and nationality. The administration also let go a possay of lit hot-air balloons, popularly known as \"udan khatolas\" in the rural dialect, which floated up in the air and lit up the night sky and caught the attention of the entire city. Speaking on the occasion, Ravi Bhagat, DC cum DEO, said that the very act of lighting a candle was an affirmation by the youngsters of their duty to exercise their hard earned right to vote.he said that candlelit marches are often held as mark of protest, but for perhaps the first time, this method has been used in a positive manner for a national cause. The youngsters, by seeing the glow of the candles, felt an enormous sense of pride and responsibility as the mature citizens of this country. almost 30% of the countyr\'s population is comprised of youngsters, and it is they who can usher in a change in the future of the country.the holding of this ceremony on college grounds was symbolic of the fact that it is the youth power which needs to be made aware of its rights and duties towards the nation, and todays ceremony was held to especially motivate them to not only come forward themselves to cast their vote, but to motivate their family and friends also to do the same. On this occasion, the entire civil administration including the Deputy Commissioner, the Additional DCs (G and D), the clerical staff as well as the Election Observers were present. The occasion was personally supervised by the Pricincipal of Khasla College, Mr. Daljit Singh, other etchers of the college and the supervisory election officials. the students and teachers also presented a small cultural program after the ceremony. The DC\'s wife, Dr.Tarundeep kaur, who is also Deputy Commisioner Income-tax, thanked all the participants for their efforts and urged the citizenry to come out in huge numbers on polling day to cast their vote and give their share in the formation of a new national government. This ceremony today marked the culmination of the month-long process of voter awareness held under the SVEEP program me of the ECI, taken up by the district administration under the guidance and leadership of the DC cum DEO, Ravi Bhagat. a plethora of initiates were taken up to motivate the masses to come out and vote, which included a run-for-vote marathon, release of a special audio CD containing three specially composed election related Punjabi songs, distribution of customized t-shirts and caps with the \"Go vote Amritsar \" logo, and the air dropping of invites to people to vote, as well as launching of a 100-foot aero banner flown by a glider aircraft over the skies of the city, urging people to Go vote!!
