JAMMU, JUN 12: Sham Lal Langer, Convener Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Trade Cell Jammu and Kashmir while welcoming the heavy footfall of visitors at the Jambu Zoo has urged the J&K Union Territory Administration to complete all the ongoing tourism related projects in Jammu region as these will give a huge boost to the tourism and economy of this region.
