Jammu, Dec 19: Shiv Sena Jammu and Kashmir unit has demanded inclusion and development of tourist and historical sites of Akhnoor on the tourist map of the Union Territory of J&K
The demand was vociferously raised during a program organized by the party’s State Unit to form its Chowki Chaura unit here today. Shiv Sena State unit President, Manish Sahni announced the formation of Chowki Chaura unit and appointed Sham Lal Sharma as its president. A large number of people joined the party on the occasion. While addressing the gathering Manish Sahni said that Akhnoor has not been accorded due recognition and status despite its historical importance and rich tourism potential.

Not only this, Akhnoor has multiple sites holding historical, mythological importance besides a lot of religious destinations which crave for proper development to be brought on the tourist map of the Union Territory.
