KISHTWAR, May 8: MLA Inderwal and senior PCC leader Ghulam Mohd Saroori today said that Kishtwar-Sinthan road will be opened to traffic on May 11.
During the tour people extended gratitude to Mr Saroori, who has been pivotal in pushing the Singhpora-Vailoo tunnel, Kishtwar-Sinthan Tourism project, Kishtwar-Sinthan project and other projects through.
Saroori said that after opening Kishtwar-Sinthan road, it will make shortest road connectivity between the people of district Doda and Kishtwar with summer capital Srinagar. He said since Doda-Batote road has been declared unsafe for vehicular movements after several stretches got washed away near Assar, Ragi Nalla and frequent landslides the Government laid stress to connect both Doda and Kishtwar districts with the rest of the world by way of opening of Kishtwar-Sinthan road.
The MLA said that with the opening of this road, there will be a huge flow of local as well as foreign tourists to these districts. “We can give boost to the tourism pilgrimage also as numbers of religious places of different religions are located in these two districts as number of pilgrims could not visit those religious places due to poor connectivity,” Saroori said.
He said that various proactive measures have been taken up to explore the immense tourism potential of the far off areas in the Sub-Division Chatroo as such Rs 7.83 crore Kishtwar-Sinthan on Yatra Sarai, Huts, parks and allied infrastructure is under execution. He called upon the Tourism Department to work with vigour and dedication to ensure the execution of ongoing projects well in time.
Saroori also said that the dream project of Sub-Division Chatroo in particular and Kishtwar and Doda in general “Chatroo-Singhpora-Vailoo” tunnel is in advance stage and said that this is his priority to construct Singhpora-Vailoo tunnel in the next few years. This tunnel once completed, will bring revolution in road connectivity between the Kashmir Valley and the Doda-Kishtwar of Jammu.
