Overview
- Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann inaugurated the Saleran Dam facility, presenting it as a step toward sustainable tourism and local employment.
- The site includes four eco-friendly tree house huts, an 80-seat cafeteria, a dedicated children’s playground, and planned boating with safety measures.
- Boating operations are not yet active, with a tender for services set to be floated soon, according to officials.
- Developed for about ₹2.80 crore by the Tourism and Forest Departments, the project carries a government estimate of over ₹18 lakh in annual revenue.
- The initiative links to a wider program that includes the running Chohal Dam project, proposed development at Chamrod Lake and Amritsar for shoots and weddings, and rest houses that Mann says have been revived for revenue.
