In Jammu and Kashmir, amid prevailing peace on the Indo-PaK borders, the UT administration has recently given its nod for the construction of homestays in the close vicinity of the famous Baba Chamliyal shrine in Ramgarh sector in Samba district on the International Border (IB). This is in order to boost border tourism. Akashvani Jammu Correspondent reports that in the Samba district of Jammu division, there is a visible change in the ground situation after the renewed ceasefire between India and Pakistan came into effect on February 25th, 2021.<br />''<br />''Considered a symbol of Indo-PaK bonhomie in the past, the famous shrine of Baba Chamliyal on the zero line attracts thousands of devotees from across the country, especially on the occasion of the annual fair in the middle of the year. Delegations from Pakistan used to come to pay obeisance at the shrine during the annual fair but the practice was stopped after cross-border firing left four BSF personnel including an Assistant Commandant dead on June 13th, 2018.<br />''<br />''A former Sarpanch Mohan Singh is ready to receive tourists at his homestay near the IB. Mr. Singh, who has come up with a double-storey homestay at his Dagh Channi village of Fatwal, has also constructed a well-furnished underground bunker with a twin objective to make the visitors get a feel of living on the borders and as a safety measure to prevent any damage in case of shelling from across the border.<br />''<br />''<span style="color: #222222;">Deputy Commissioner Samba, Abhishek Sharma said there are many locations along the 55 km International Border in the district which have the potential to attract tourists in large numbers like Chamliyal shrine, 300 year old temple Bamu Chak, Baba Bali Karan and Baba Sidh Goria shrines. He said there is an encouraging response from the border residents, especially young entrepreneurs who are ready to convert their homes into homestays.</span><br />
