| Centre sanctions border tourism projects in JK | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 22 In a bid to give fillip to tourism in Jammu and Kashmir, the Centre has sanctioned two border tourism projects in the state.
"This is the first time when the Union government has sanctioned two border tourism projects at Chamblyal and Suchetgarh in Samba and Jammu districts," tourism minister Rigzin Jora said today after laying the foundation stone for development of the Baba Chamblyal shrine at Ramgarh border, 40 km from here.
The development of the Baba Chamblyal shrine as a tourist destination would be done at a cost of Rs 1.60 crore, he said.
It will be a symbol of friendship between India and Pakistan because of its location on the zero line, he said.

He said that the project will envisage a big facility for the devotees who come from within and out side the State. He asked the people to cooperate with the Government in widening the road, leading to the shrine. He also appreciated the BSF for helping the devotees during Mela.
While addressing, MP, Mr. Madan Lal Sharma asked the people to monitor the quality of works of project. He asked the Tourism Department and Committees of the Shrine to prepare a project report for construction of Gumbad on the Shrine and announced that it will be constructed out of his Constituency Development Fund
