Dear Brothers and Sisters of SOA Family,As you are aware, precious lives have been lost and several people have suffered as a consequence of the recent unfortunate Fire Accident at SUM Hospital. Our heart goes out those families who are directly or indirectly affected on account of this. They will not able to celebrate ‘Deepawali’ as a result of the grief suffered.At this challenging hour, the least we can do is to empathize with them by deciding to sacrifice our celebrations.It is therefore requested that we all voluntarily decide to completely avoid the use of all forms of fireworks, crackers or elaborate illumination at our homes or place of works.However lighting of ‘Dwipa’ (Diyas/ Pradeep) and candles is part of the puja ceremony. Let us do this lamp lighting with outmost austerity and prayers for the departed souls, and early recovery of the other victims.For the same reasons it is hereby requested that the faculty and students should voluntarily decide not to participate in any celebratory functions which are usually conducted within our University or on invitation from other institutions till December, 2016. This is the least we can do to show our solidarity to the victims of the present circumstances.Kindly share this information with your colleagues, family members,students and all those who may be willing to share this grief of ours. Let me close with our Gratitude to Lord Almighty for the Grantof Bail to our Honourable President and Medical Superintendent,SUM Hospital. Let us hope our three other brothers will also come out soon.
