Jammu division having it own significance for tourism in the state, but presently the concerned departments and officials have failed to ensure all its regions are kept clean without fail, as many of tourism projects in the division are at slow pace.
Categorically State Government might have forgotten the commitment to the late Mufti’s vision of making the State amongst the best tourism destination in the world.
Whereas, Tawi River Front development project that has been alluring the locals for quite some time now remained a distant dream this despite MoU was signed between Jammu Development Authority (JDA) and Sabarmati River Front Development Corporation Ltd (SRFDCL).
Besides that Ranjit Sagar Dam in Basohli, Akhnoor Fort, Mughal Sarai in Rajouri, Patnitop, Surinsar, Mansar, Jai in Bhaderwah, Warwan in Kishtwar and Mantalai in Udhampur as places where all ongoing projects are delayed by one or another reason.
Notably, the Tourism and Development authorities of Bhaderwah, Rajouri and Patnitop should take seriously the status of ongoing works in the areas under the sectors. The progress of work on the Tawi Golf Course and the Tourist Reception Centre at Dera Baba Bandha in Reasi besides renovation of Bhimgarh Fort in Reasi should undertaken the directions to complete within timeframe.
Particularly, the official of tourism department should ensures that all sorts of facilitation services are provided to tourists visiting Jammu, Bhaderwah, Rajouri, Patnitop and other places in the region, as it would provide momentum to the development of tourism in the state which would boost the economy of the state.
