Hoshiarpur witnessed a landmark event on Sunday as Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann opened eco-friendly huts at Saleran Dam, championing tourism as a job multiplier. AAP’s focus on such developments aims to blend environmental care with economic upliftment.
The CM drew parallels to success stories in Amritsar, Patiala, and Chamrod Lake, where cinema and weddings have created waves of opportunities. Saleran’s ambitious setup, Mann declared, will match Himachal’s premier destinations in allure and infrastructure.
Government efforts have restored 52 aging rest houses, securing Rs 1 crore monthly from leases. Slamming prior governments for offloading public wealth to insiders cheaply, Mann highlighted his team’s reclamation drive.
In his post-inauguration briefing, the CM outlined the Rs 2.80 crore initiative’s revenue forecast of over Rs 18 lakh per year, extending the Chohl Dam’s proven model to offer yet another tourist draw.
Facilities shine with a vast 16,000 sq ft play zone for children featuring multi-stations, four nature-integrated huts, an 80-person cafeteria, and an expansive amphitheater amid panoramic dam views. Expect a magnet for visitors, jobs for youth, and rising local prosperity.
Enthusing about the region’s promise, Mann urged viewing these spots as future international gems, ready to transform Punjab’s economy through eco-tourism excellence.
