जिव्हाळ्याचा माणूस - उदय कावळे...!
" कभी कभी ईत्तेफाक से... कितने अनजान लोग मिल जाते है... उनमे से कुच लोग भुल जाते है... कुच याद रह जाते है...! " किशोर कुमार यांच्या आवाजातील हे गाणं आज नकळत आठवलं. आयूष्यात अनेक माणसे येतात जातात मात्र त्यातील मोजकी माणसे कायमस्वरूपी लक्षात राहतात. असेच एक व्यक्तीत्व म्हणजे श्री उदय कवळे...
वेकोलीचा वणी क्षेत्राचे मुख्य महाव्यवस्थापक उदय कवळे यांनी साडेतीन वर्षापुर्वी वणी क्षेत्राचे एजीएम (AGM) म्हणून पदभार स्विकारला. या साडेतीन वर्षांत उदय कवळे यांच्या नेतृत्वाखाली वणी क्षेत्राचे सर्वोत्कृष्ट क्षेत्र, सुरक्षा आणि व्यवस्थापक कोळसा उत्पादनात डब्ल्यूसीएलच्या इतर क्षेत्रांपेक्षा पुढे होते. तसेच डब्ल्यूसीएल (WCL), (Coal India) कोल इंडियाकडून अनेक पुरस्कार त्यांना मिळाले आहेत. त्यांनी वणी क्षेत्रातील बंद खाणी सुरू केल्यात. वणी क्षेत्रातील विविध कोळसा खाणींमध्ये सुरक्षा व्यवस्थेच्या दृष्टिकोनातून एमएसएफ (MSF) सुरक्षा दलांव्यतिरिक्त मुख्य रस्ते, चेकपोस्ट, काटा घर आणि कोळसा स्टॅकमध्ये हाय डेफिनेशनचे सीसीटीव्ही (HD - CCTV cameras) बसविलेत. खाणी आणि त्याचे नियंत्रण ताडाळीच्या मुख्यालयातून नियंत्रित केले जाते. नुकतेच जुलै आणि ऑगस्ट या दोन महिन्यांत वर्धा नदीला दोन वेळा पूर आला होता. त्यामुळे मुंगोली, कोलगाव, पैनगंगा खाणीतून उत्पादित होणाऱ्या हजारो टन कोळशाची वाहतूक पूर्णपणे बंद होती.तरी सूध्दा कोळश्याचा उत्पादनात आणि परिवहनात कमतरता आली नव्हती.कवळे यांच्या नियोजनामुळे हे शक्य झाले.
कोरोनाच्या कठीण काळात उदय कवळे यांच्या मार्गदर्शनाखाली परिसरातील अनेक ग्रामस्थांना राजीव रतन हॉस्पिटलमध्ये नवीन कोविड केअर सेंटर बांधून मोफत उपचार उपलब्ध करून देण्यात आले होते. याशिवाय वेकोलिच्या कर्मचाऱ्यांनीही परिसरातील अनेक सामाजिक कार्यात हातभार लावला. उदय कवळे हे वेकोलिच्या अधिकारी-कर्मचाऱ्यांव्यतिरिक्त परिसरातील सर्वसामान्य नागरिकांच्या भेटी घेत, त्यांचा समस्या जानून घेत असत. त्यांच्या समस्या सोडविण्यास प्राधान्य देत असतं. ते उत्तम वक्ते होते. सर्वसामान्यांशी त्यांची नाळ जूळली होती. त्यामुळे ते सर्वांचेच जिव्हाळ्याचे होते.
