Jammu : On the auspicious occasion of Baisakhi, Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha dedicated Tawi Riverfront Project (Phase-I), developed at a cost of Rs 156 crore, to the public.
In Phase-1 of Tawi Riverfront Project, Jammu Smart City Limited has developed promenades on the left bank, right bank, and the central island, creating four continuous stretches for walking, jogging, and cycling.
A dedicated ghat area has also been developed for the sacred Tawi Aarti.
“Our vision is to create inclusive, accessible, and enriching spaces for every citizen. The Tawi Riverfront embodies this ethos with a seamless blend of tradition and modernity, where development harmonises with nature,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor was attending the 3-day long Tawi Mahotsav, organized by Jammu Smart City Limited, where he joined the citizens for the Tawi Aarti, and launched a series of transformative urban initiatives aimed at elevating the overall environment of the Tawi riverfont and the surrounding area.
On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor laid the foundation stone for 4-lane connecting road to the right Bank with a bridge to decongest a critical stretch of city and directly connect Bhagwati Nagar rotary with Jewel chowk.
The development of green spaces along the top promenade of the Left Bank was also launched by the Lieutenant Governor. The one-kilometre stretch will transform Tawi Riverfront into an ideal urban space and a vibrant hotspot for residents and tourists.
The Lieutenant Governor said under the Urban Challenge Fund, two major initiatives are being taken up: real estate monetisation of Phase-I and the extension of the riverfront from Bikram Chowk Bridge to Har Ki Paudi.
He emphasised that these initiatives will play a pivotal role in transforming the Tawi riverfront into a vibrant tourist destination, a premier recreational hub, and a dynamic economic centre.
