Jammu, April 08: Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana Saturday called for compiling the inventory of the heritage sites, shrines and ancient temples for drawing a roadmap for developing Jammu Pilgrim Tourism Circuit for devotees to seek spiritual bliss.
“Jammu’s identity as the City of Temples is not only to be preserved but promoted in a big way by raising state-of-art infrastructure and making optimum use of technology to showcase the rich heritage on a larger canvass”, Rana said while speaking at a function organised by Jammu & Kashmir Dharmik Paryatan Culture and Heritage Trust at Press Club Jammu.
Rana sought a pro-active approach for harnessing the huge pilgrim tourism potential of the Jammu region, saying action will speak louder than symbolism.
He also sought active public participation in realizing this objective and said that the pilgrim tourist circuit will open up vistas of opportunities for entrepreneurs, startups, traders, eateries, transporters and all those engaged with the tourism trade.
Rana said most thronged heritage sites like Shiv Khori, Krimchi, Sudh Mahadev Shiv Temple besides ancient temples across the Jammu Division especially the City, as also Utterbeni, Purmandal and Devak also need to be included in the pilgrim tourism circuit with active participation of the people, who are primary stakeholders,
