As a major tourist attraction, kashmir will soon have a big aquarium to be located on the banks of the Dal Lake and at the foot of Shankaracharya hill at Gagribal near here
The aquarium will have a 200 meter long tunnel with aqua caves and house about 200 species of ornamental fish. It will be a centrally heated building to withstand extreme low temperature during winter.
The aquarium will be second in the State after the Bagh-i-Bahu aquarium in Jammu that draws thousands of enthusiastic visitors daily.
The Chief Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad today visited the proposed site of the aquarium and asked the concerned officials to go ahead with the project that he said will add to the places of tourist attraction in the summer capital city. At present, there is a small aquarium and awareness centre at Gagribal which will be extended and developed into a major aquarium on the pattern of the one at Bagh-i-Bahu.
