Rs 6.38 crore sanctioned for development of holy spring Khoo Sahib in Pulwama

In a significant step towards the preservation and development of Jammu and Kashmir’s religious and heritage sites, the Government has approved a ₹6.38 crore project for the development of the revered holy spring of Khoo Sahib at Yarwan, Shadimarg in Pulwama district.

The project aims to upgrade essential infrastructure and improve facilities for devotees and visitors while ensuring the preservation of the site’s religious, cultural and historical significance. The initiative is expected to enhance the overall pilgrim experience and promote the conservation of one of South Kashmir’s prominent spiritual landmarks.

The approval reflects the Government’s continued commitment to safeguarding Jammu and Kashmir’s rich religious and cultural heritage through focused investments in the restoration and development of important places of worship and pilgrimage.

Notably, the approval follows the Government’s recent sanction of two major heritage conservation projects worth ₹16.36 crore for the revival and restoration of the historic Jamia Masjid Sharief in Shopian and the revered Sarvadhar Chaumanda Mata Mandir in Ramban.
