Srinagar, May 30: The Jammu and Kashmir government has made ‘life saving jackets’ mandatory for Shikara boats in Dal and Nigeen lakes besides other water bodies of the region.
The order comes just a day after 21 tourists enjoying shikaras ride in Dal lake were stranded due to heavy rains and gusty winds. However, the river wing of Srinagar police moved swiftly and rescued the tourists.
