Road to Tulip Garden at Sanasar in pathetic condition

0 56

Dear Editor,
After Srinagar, the Tulip Garden at Sanasar has now become an attraction for tourists and nature lovers. Sanasar is witnessing an unusual rush of visitors these days. And all those from Jammu who want to visit Jammu’s own Tulip Garden in Sanasar came in for a big shock due to poor road condition to the scenic picnic spot.
On its part, the State Tourism Department had invited local tourists to visit Sanasar and enjoy the serene locales but before organising the red carpet welcome for visitors, the department has failed to convince the other government agencies to provide a comfortable ride to the visitors here.
The tourists had to cut a sorry figure as they faced numerous hardships while travelling on the mountainous route between Patnitop and Sanasar.
Due to presence of defence installations along the route the road condition between Patnitop to Nathatop is alright as the same has been maintained by the defence personnel but the stretch beyond that is in a very pathetic condition.
In recent years, no effort has been made to complete the road or improve its condition to provide better connectivity. The tourists are left on their own after they cross Nathatop. Despite announcing large number of schemes for promotion of local tourist spots across Jammu region, it appears the State Tourism Department in Jammu has failed to highlight the importance of better road connectivity to these spots.
It is really sad that the efforts of Floriculture Department who worked hard to create this Tulip Garden have been wasted because of the pathetic condition of the road.
D.P Singh (Raju),
Jammu.
