Bandipora (Jammu and Kashmir): In a move to boost tourism and enhance its natural beauty, the Wular Conservation and Management Authority (WUCMA) has redoubled efforts to give Wular Lake a facelift reminiscent of the iconic Boulevard of Dal Lake in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Wular Conservation and Management Authority has set up a comprehensive plan to attract tourists to the beautiful scenery of Asia's largest natural lake, while the main objective of this project is to ensure the preservation of the natural beauty of the lake.

For convenience, Shikara's (wooden boat) has been installed in the style of Dal Lake and an excellent "viewpoint" has also been constructed to view the lake.

A Shikara rower, Ghulam Nabi Dar, urged tourists to visit. "...This is such a beautiful lake...I urge tourists to visit this place and enjoy it.

Ever since a viewpoint was constructed here, the rush of tourists has increased. Our employment opportunities, too, will further improve.

I request the Tourism Department to maintain a few parks from here so that we can add more Shikara's," Wular Lake is a destination of choice for visitors seeking tranquillity and beauty in the heart of Kashmir.
