JAMMU, May 10: For the first time an SRTC Tourist bus has been started from Kupwara to Teetwal to boost border and religious tourism.
The luxury bus was flagged off from Kupwara by DC Sagar Dattatray yesterday. Earlier Save Sharda Committee headed by Ravinder Pandita had met Lt Governor, Manoj Sinha on April 14 in New Delhi and demanded a bus service from Srinagar to Teetwal and Kupwara to Teetwal to help tourists through public mode of transport to Teetwal in the wake of inauguration of Sharda Temple there. The pilgrims have to take Taxi and bear heavy charges for visiting Sharda Temple and we welcome the decision of LG administration for starting the bus service that will help the locals as well as tourists, said Pandita.
The bus service will shuttle from Kupwara to Chitterkote at a fare of Rs. 140/- per passenger. “We also thank DC Kupwara and administration for this much needed support to boost border tourism” said Ravinder Pandita in handout issued here, today.
