STATE TIMES NEWS
JAMMU: Zone President of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Jammu West Puneet Singh Jamwal on Friday hailed the decision of Central government for identifying Vaishno Devi as an iconic destination to be cleaned on par with international standards for which the World Bank is also going to provide technical assistance. Cleanliness of such holy places will also help sites witness rejuvenated atmosphere that will in turn help locals as well as pilgrims and tourists to enjoy the climate and serene surroundings at par with international standards, Jamwal added. He said that during the launch of this programme, the state government should also try to collaborate and involve officials so that same techniques and standards are adopted to upkeep other iconic sites in the state as well.
He hoped that more such places will be identified in Jammu and Kashmir after the completion of first phase of this drive.
