Sir,
This has reference to the news item ‘Restoration of pristive glory of river Tawi DE July 7.
River Tawi which passes through the heart of Jammu City is not merely a water body but it has a great significance for people of Jammu. The people here hold it in great reverence as some religious rituals are linked to it. Besides, it is a lifeline for the city dwellers, and irrigates the agricultural land around the city.
But the river is being treated as a dustbin as city Sewerage drains into it thus making it polluted. It is also seen that drivers wash their vehicles in it. In case encroachment of its banks and other problems continued to plague it. It will lose its existence in the near future. The beautification of this river has become a necessity. Its banks can become ideal picnic spots for Jammuities throughout the year. It is requested to all stakeholders to come together to save this river.
Yours etc…
Sunil Jamwal
