He said that the Ministry of Environment and Forest, climate change (GoI) has prepared the DPR for the project as " Rejuvenation of Devika and Tawi River at Udhampur and later it has be limited to" Pollution abatement of River Devika and River Tawi at Udhampur town.
Paba added that amount sanctioned to the tune of Rs 186.74 crores has been diverted to drainage and Sewerage Treatment Plants and only Rs12 crores likely to be utilized for beautification, Ghats, community Halls, cremation ghats etc. It hurts the sentiment of millions of soul in Udhampur as there is no proposal for revival of River Devika at Udhampur and removal of unauthorized construction along the river Devika.
