The lieutenant governor (LG) Manoj Sinha on Saturday inaugurated a Tulip Garden in Jammu province at Ramban’s Hill Resort of Sanasar.
The park, spread in an area of 40 Kanals (5 acres), is part of ₹6.91 crore project.
This new Tulip Garden, spread between the existing lake and proposed golf course, is an extension of old Tulip Garden set up in 4 kanals of land two years ago.

He wrote, “Tourism potential of Jammu is unique in many ways. With breathtaking natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, magnificent cuisine & warm hospitality, it can create a niche for itself on global tourism map. Administration is committed to ensure all the necessary infra & resources.” Under tourism mission initiative, the LG’s administration is developing 75 new destinations for fulfilling the aspirations of the people. While addressing a gathering at Sanasar, Sinha said the government has initiated various measures to promote tourism in Jammu division and about 1.88 crore tourists visited J&K last year, an all time record so far.
