Qazigund (Anantnag), June 28: Residents of Panzath village in south Kashmir’s Qazigund area on Sunday launched a cleanliness and de-weeding drive to revive the historic Panzath Nag spring following reports of fish mortality in the water body. The drive saw participation from local residents along with officials from the Jal Shakti, Irrigation and Flood Control and Fisheries departments, besides members of Auqaf, who jointly cleared nearly a one-kilometre stretch of the spring by removing weeds and accumulated waste. Panzath, known as the “Land of 500 Springs,” is fed by a network of freshwater springs that provide drinking and irrigation water to several villages in the Qazigund belt.
