Restore glory of Chamba chowgans: Vikas samiti

January 31, 2023

The Mugla Vikas Samiti of Chamba town has urged the district administration to focus on the conservation of all five chowgans of the town.
Samiti president in a representation submitted to the Deputy Commissioner, had said that keeping in view their importance, the government had declared five Chowgans as ‘heritage sites’.
So, the seriousness of the cause should be demonstrated and planting of ‘drub’, a local grass, be ensured so that their pristine glory is restored.
These five Chowgans are lungs and heart of the town. Chamba is known for the beauty of Chowgans.
Minjar fair every year is held here every year.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner maintained that the Chowgan number one had been closed for all activities during the winter till the middle of April to ensure its conservation. Efforts were being made to take out weeds so that ‘drub’ was not overpowered by these weeds.
