SRINAGAR — A 21-year-old girl from Srinagar has been working on different fronts to bring a positive change in the society.
Naqati Aroob Iqbal (21) resident of Ellahi Bagh Srinagar has so far co-authored 15 books and her solo book titled “Why Silence” will be released soon.
Naqati Aroob said that she has so far organised dozens of events in different areas of Kashmir to make people aware about the significance of planting more and more trees and ill effects of deforestation.
She said that many events were also organized to aware youth about effects of drug addiction and how we can contribute to keep our youth away from drug addiction, suicides, stress and other problems.
“I have co-authored 15 books so far and the main message of my writing also revolves around the plight of people and other issues which make one’s life miserable,” she said.
“I am not working to get recognition or applause from the society but by serving people, creating awareness among them gives me satisfaction and peace of mind,” she said.
“There is potential in every youth of J&K but they don’t get the proper platform so I request them that they shouldn’t suppress them for not getting a platform and leave doing what they are fond of,” she said.
“Once they get depressed, they get involved in mental disorders which leads to drug abuse, suicides and other things which is not good for them, their family and society,” Naqati said.
“Our aim is to make Kashmir once again a paradise which it was but has degraded due to social issues. We want to take our youth out of social issues to make it paradise once again,” she added further. — (KNO)
