Mehbooba Mufti opposes motorable boulevard on western side of famous Dal Lake
Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti criticised a proposal to build a motorable boulevard along the western shore of Dal Lake, saying it would harm the nearby Nigeen Lake’s serenity and the region’s ecology. She urged the government to prioritize environmental protection over politically driven infrastructure projects, warning that the plan could damage the area’s natural heritage.
