TBM Staff - Mumbai The Army will completely relocate its troops from Srinagar’s Tattoo Ground, which is spread over 139.04 acres, and this area will be thrown open for tourist activities in the near future.
An official spokesman said the Ministry of Defence signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Home Affairs through the Government of UT of Jammu and Kashmir for the transfer of the Tattoo Ground to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
The prime land will be now used for the tourism promotion with J&K government deciding to come up with a first ever Amusement Park at the space which will be vacated by the army. The land will be handed over by the MoD to J&K government within the period of 120 days.
In May this year J&K government had formed a committee to evaluate bids for the development of a ‘world-class’ amusement park at Tattoo Ground.
