Waste-to-Wonder park set to welcome Amarnath pilgrims in Jammu

What was once discarded as scrap is now being transformed into a striking tourist attraction in Jammu. A Waste-to-Wonder Park is emerging on the banks of the Tawi River near Yatri Niwas in Bhagwati Nagar, ahead of this year’s Amarnath Yatra.

Developed under the Jammu Smart City Project, the park features replicas of iconic landmarks, including the Statue of Unity, Akhnoor Fort, Chenab Bridge, and the Taj Mahal, all crafted from discarded metal and other waste materials. Officials say glass bottles, old benches, and used tyres are also being incorporated into the installations.
