Devika river

Udhampur in J&K is also well known city for the Devika river.
As it appears and disappears at many places, Devika is also known as Gupt Ganga.
The Devika river also holds great religious significance as it is revered by Hindus as the sister of river Ganga.
In June 2020, Dr Jitendra Singh had also inaugurated the important Devika Bridge in Udhampur. Apart from taking care of traffic congestion, the Devika Bridge was also meant to help smooth passage of Army convoys and vehicles.
