SRINAGAR, July 6: Minister of State and Chairperson of J&K Waqf Board Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today visited Bangus valley in Kupwara district. She met some public delegations and listened to their issues and problems.
“This paradise of virgin beauty has great tourism potential but we need to create required eco-friendly infrastructure and tourist-facilities there. I will soon present the report and my suggestions to the Government”, said Dr Darakhshan while talking to media persons after the visit.
“Bangus Valley is a point of attraction for many tourists and visitors because of its long and wide green meadows, dense forests, streams and small and big valleys, and slopes of the side plateaus,” she said, adding, this Green Valley of Bangus is under threat of haphazard constructions which would prove fatal for the natural beauty of the spot and its meadows and trees and streams.
Dr Andrabi said that before carrying on any developmental activity, there needs to have an eco-friendly master plan for Bangus Valley for its sustainable development so that no haphazard allotments of land are made to private persons for commercial purposes, which would affect the beauty and natural flora and fauna of Bangus Valley.
