"To boost the tourism sector in Jammu, we have appealed to Irrigation and Flood Control Minister Sham Lal Sharma to ensure the project was completed at the earliest," President All Jammu Hotels and Lodges and Association (AJHLA) Inderjeet Khajuria said in a meeting of the organisation.
The construction of the artificial lake on Tawi river was being carried out on an extremely slow pace, he said adding, the project needs to be expedited at the earliest.
The artificial lake along with other tourism projects initiated by the state government will encourage tourists to visit Jammu, Khajuria said.
