Jammu: Retracing famous "Mughal road",
the Jammu and Kashmir government has planned a car rally on
the route to boost tourism in the state.
"Tourism department will organise a car rally on
Mughal road to boost tourism in border districts of Rajouri
and Poonch," state tourism minister Nawang Rigzin Jora said.
The rally named "on the footprints of Mughals" would be
held in June, he added.
Medieval Mughal emperors and their royal armies used to
travel on the route due to which it came to be known as
"Mughal road".
The 87-km route linking Rajouri-Poonch to Sophian area
of Jammu and Kashmir has several rest houses, huts and many
other historical monuments constructed by Mughal emperors.
