BASANTGARH, Mar 3: While making a passionate and fervent appeal for better roads and nurturing tourism potential of the far-flung, picturesque areas of Ramnagar & Udhampur, like Dudu, Basantgarh, Garh Samna Bank, Pancheri, Landhar, Mongri, Kud etc, Ranbir Singh Pathania Spokesperson J&K BJP called for unfolding of immediate crash measures into the matter. He was addressing largely attended meetings at Dudu, Basantgarh, Kirchi, Shivgali, Gandhtop, Sarail, Parla Chakal, Siyameri, Kulwanta, Chhatriari, Majori and Balota Upperla.
Pathania said that road from Chenani to Sudh Mahadev has already been declared as national highway. He called for extending national highway from Sudh Mahadev upto Latti, Dudu, Basantgarh, Ramnagar and Rown-Domail. This circular road connecting Jammu-Srinagar national highway with Udhampur-Billawar Dhar road shall not only provide a viable connectivity to more than three lac population but at the same time shall act as lodestar for promoting rich tourism potential of the area. He further said that since independence people living in this geographically inaccessible, topographically tough and administratively neglected, militancy-hit patch, have been craving for a metalled, all-weather roads. More so given the scenic beauty of Shivgali, Ponara, Seojdhar, sky-rocketing heights of Garh Samna Banj, spruce and fir forests of Tamdyal, Kot so on and so forth, the mesmerizing beauty of the area outmatches the best tourist spots of Kashmir valley. |
