JAMMU: Save My Tawi, Campaign the group of volunteers working for awareness about the importance of the river Tawi has welcomed the announcement by Jammu and Kashmir government, where it is being informed that a good amount of money is kept for the beautification of river Tawi on the pattern of Sabrmati river of Gujarat. We congratulate the collation government for making their promise which they had kept in their ‘agenda of alliance’. 

The group members  called it as a right move of Union and State government to bring people more closer to the river so that they can enjoy flora and fauna there without disturbing the ecology, it will also help in promoting tourism in the region which is facing lot of problems after direct trains to Katra.

Calling River Tawi as identity of Jammu region,  said its serenity must be respected, the volunteers asked  for early completion of sewerage treatment plant in the Jammu City so that the human waste and other garbage is not thrown in the river directly which is other wise causing lot of pollution.

The Save My Tawi Campaign members also demanded Net fencing on both sides of all bridges of the river as many people from the bridges throw garbage, polythene and other plastic waste from their houses  in the river stream. The statement is endorsed by founding members including  Dewaker Sharma, Advocate, Raman Sharma, Harasis Singh and Deepak Sharma besides others.
