In a major push to promote border tourism in North Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir government has granted administrative approval for a ₹7.93 crore project to overhaul tourist infrastructure across the Uri sector in Baramulla district.
The initiative aims to showcase the pristine landscapes of the border region while building facilities to handle growing footfalls. Key sites identified for development under the project include Uri Town, Bosiyan-Gingal, Mahura, Garkote, and Bela Boniyar.
According to an official update shared by the Chief Minister’s Office on X, the comprehensive plan focuses on upgrading visitor amenities to elevate the overall travel experience. Proposed developments feature modern tourist huts, facilitation centres, and public conveniences. To leverage the area’s natural landscapes, the project also incorporates riverfront developments, scenic parks, panoramic viewpoints, and designated trekking paths for adventure enthusiasts.
Local authorities expect the infrastructure drive to unlock the untapped economic potential of Uri’s scenic villages. By establishing structured amenities and eco-friendly recreational zones, the government intends to position the border belt as a key highlight on Kashmir’s tourism map, driving local livelihood opportunities and regional growth.
