It is that time of the year again. The lingering chill of the changing season marked by the biggest and the most celebrated festival of the year – Deepawali.

While people all over the country celebrate the return of Lord Ram to Ayodhya with utter dedication by lighting up their homes with beautiful lights and earthen diyas, distributing sweets, meeting friends, and bursting crackers, there are many for whom the day goes by like just another day. Even though care homes, orphanages, old age homes, and other such places in the country get decorated with lights from outside, there are still heavy hearts and lonely eyes, living inside, waiting to celebrate the festival with loved ones.

Spreading happiness and positivity is the motto of celebrating the festival of Diwali, and our bureaucrats did the same by coming forward and adding little specks of happiness into the lives of people.

SPREADING POSITIVITY IN OLD AGE HOMES

Instead of going out and celebrating with friends, IPS officer Kamlesh Dixit, Superintendent of Police in Hamirpur district of Uttar Pradesh, decided to visit an old age home with his family and spread light in their lives. According to the officer, the happiness of the people living in the home knew no bounds and they blessed the officer and his family immensely.

Similarly, Superintendent of Police of Gonda district, Uttar Pradesh, Mr. Santosh Mishra celebrated the festival with the elderly of an old age home. He distributed blankets to the residents along with gifts, sweets, and fruits and received their blessings.

Police personnel from Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, along with the Additional Superintendent of Police, Dr. Sanjay Kumar, also visited old age homes of the district on the occasion of ‘Chhoti Diwali’, which falls a day prior to the main festival and distributed fruits and sweets among the elderly.

MAKING THE LITTLE ONES HAPPY

The festival of Diwali especially excites the little ones all over the country. The exciting feeling of getting new clothes, eating sweets, bursting crackers, and celebrating the festival of lights is beyond words for young minds. This Diwali, several bureaucrats decided to celebrate the joyous occasion with children from orphanages and make their Diwali a little more special. 

On the occasion of Dhanteras, a festival that falls two days prior to the festival of Deepawali, IPS officer Santosh Mishra spent time with families of ‘Gram Praharies’ and distributed sweets and diyas among the little ones, thus helping them in celebrating the festival with much fervor.

Police personnel from Bindki police station of Fatehpur district, Uttar Pradesh, also, went to the ones in need and wished them a very happy Diwali by distributing gifts, sweets, and toys among the little ones.

Similarly, IPS officer Nikhil Pathak, Superintendent of Police in Lalitpur district of Uttar Pradesh, visited Panari Ashram, an orphanage in the district and spent time with the children there. He distributed gifts among the little ones, thus making them beam with joy.

By going a notch ahead, SHO Kotwali of Gorakhpur police under IPS officer Vipin Tada, Senior Superintendent of Police of Gorakhpur, visited a school for specially-abled kids and spent time with them. The kids jumped with happiness and joy on receiving gifts and sweets and had fun with the police officers!

SPECIAL MENTIONS OF THE DAY

IPS officer Mr. SK Nath from BSF Tripura celebrated the joyous festival with troops of 120 BSF Jawans and visited the border to convey the best health and regards to our soldiers protecting the nation.

IPS officer VC Sajjanar, the Managing Director of Telangana State Road Transport Corporation, held a virtual diya lighting ceremony and requested everyone to share their Diwali pictures with the hashtag #ICHOOSETSRTC. The campaign received a lot of retweets and became quite popular in just a day!

Personnel from Border Roads Organization spread happiness on the occasion of Diwali by distributing gifts to locals and children on the way to Panitanki near Nepal Border.

We would also like to give a special mention to this unmentioned and unknown traffic police officer who was doing his duty on the Barapullah flyover in Delhi around 9:25 AM on Diwali morning, when a vehicle stopped midway due to some problem thereby causing a long line of traffic behind it. This gentleman officer rushed to the car and pushed it to the side of the road to clear the traffic so that the people stuck on the highway could reach their homes quickly and spend time with their families.

The occasion of Diwali is much more than decorating homes and distributing sweets. It is a time to spread happiness; to spend time with your loved ones; to help the needy, and to make the world a better place.
