“The movement was initiated by BFDC but it gets support from people across the state and several organizations joined this campaign not only for development of Bawe Wali Mata Shrine but for Jammu city , which is no verge of losing its identity due to direct train to Katra and construction of Cheneni-Nashri tunnel.
