In a bid to boost tourism, a kite festival was organised on August 28 by the Directorate of Tourism Jammu at Tawi River Front Park. A large number of participants joined the event partaking in the spirit of the festival.

The display of colourful kites also becomes a sight of attraction. This was the second edition of the Jammu Kite Festival that was organised in collaboration with Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation (JKTDC) and was inaugurated by Divisional Commissioner Dr Raghav Langer by releasing the string of a kite. The festival also marked the celebration of Azadi ka Amrit Mahostav.
