A Heritage Reclaimed: The Poonch Fort Transformation

Under the banner of “Mera Sheher Meri Pehchaan,” the historic Poonch Fort recently witnessed a remarkable Clean-Up and Beautification Drive. What began as an initiative to clear overgrown weeds and scattered waste evolved into a powerful demonstration of community pride and collective responsibility.

The Fort Awakens

Over fifty dedicated sanitation workers from the Municipal Council Poonch joined hands with enthusiastic local volunteers. Armed with gloves, brooms and shovels, they focused on:

  • Clearing debris along the boundary walls
  • Pruning overgrowth and removing litter
  • Reviving the adjoining gardens with new flowering plants

In just one weekend, the fort’s surroundings were transformed from neglected to dignified, restoring the site’s historic grandeur.

A Living Legacy

By day’s end, the renewed garden paths invited families to stroll where weeds once choked the soil. Tourists paused to admire the vibrant flower beds and residents felt an invigorated sense of ownership. The site now reflects not only its regal history but also the community’s enduring commitment to its preservation.

Lasting Impact

Heritage restoration: The fort’s perimeter and gardens shine with renewed elegance.

Community engagement: Citizens from every generation contributed their time and energy.
