NAGROTA, Nov 15: Saying that Jammu was blessed with abundant pilgrim tourism potential, BJP leader and former legislator Devender Singh Rana today called for harnessing these in a big way for giving fillip to the regional economy.
“Pilgrim tourism has sustained the economy of Jammu & Kashmir in general and this region in particular during most difficult times post nineties and promoting these destinations by ensuring world class infrastructural facilities will prove catalyst for economic transformation in this part of the country” Rana said while interacting with devotees after paying obeisance at the shrine of Bawa Ballo Ji Maharaj at Mathwar in Nagrota assembly constituency. The BJP leader called for expediting the work on the new pilgrim tourist circuit from Utterbeni-Purmandal-Surinsar-Deon-Tada-Dansal-Domel to the footfall of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Katra, saying this will give boost to pilgrim tourism and open up vistas of opportunities for the locals.
