Make landmass around waterbodies eco-sensitive zone: Soz

Ghulam Nabi Azad
SRINAGAR:
Jammu and Kashmir will soon have a law to protect and persevere its heritage, Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said on Saturday.
He was responding to a suggestion made by Union Minister for Water Resources Saifuddin Soz at a seminar on "Kashmir Heritage Day" here.
Mr. Azad said Srinagar was a living heritage and the Dal Lake, which is the face of its beauty, reached a dead-end. "We all have to combine our efforts to revive waterbodies and other sites, for which Kashmir is famous the world over."
Quoting Pakistani Army General Akbar Khan, Prof. Soz said the waterbodies played a major role in defeating tribal raiders in 1947 as they got stuck in water and the Indian forces repulsed the attack. The Minister said a new master plan for Srinagar should be comprehensive and all landmass in and around the waterbodies must be declared an eco-sensitive zone.
The seminar was organised by the UNESCO and the People's Empowerment Mission, a Srinagar-based non-governmental organisation.
