J-K min calls for efforts to save state's 'unique geography'

Jammu and Kashmir minister Naeem Akhtar today called for efforts to save unique geographical formations in the Valley.
Public works minister said the government will take stringent steps against people involved in cutting of soil and encroachments around roads in the state.
The minister expressed anguish at the destruction of Karewas (plateaus) at many places around the roads.
He said that safety of these land forms will be responsibility of the engineers and employees concerned.
"Karewas are our treasures. We owe responsibility of their safekeeping for our future generations. Karewas have millions of years of history buried in them and scientists are yet completely decipher them," he said.
