Jammu's Waste to Wonder Park
Jammu is building a special park called 'waste to wonder park' where they are making copies of famous buildings from India and other countries using recycled materials.
One of the main features is a big statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, which is 40 feet tall.
The park will have many fun things to do, like food places, a theater, and areas for kids to play.
It's part of a bigger plan to make the area along the Tawi river more beautiful and cleaner.
The park is expected to be ready by the end of March and will help people learn about important places while also teaching them about recycling.
A 40-foot-high replica of the Statue of Unity is being constructed in Jammu's 'waste to wonder park'.
The park is a flagship project of Jammu Smart City Limited, combining sustainable waste management with tourism.
It will feature replicas of 14 iconic monuments from India and abroad, made mostly from recycled waste material.
The park includes facilities like an administrative block, food courts, an open-air theatre, and adventure zones for children.
The project is part of a larger tourism corridor along the Tawi riverfront, including a botanical park and urban forests.
