To protect the fragile ecosystem and prevent littering from damaging the area's natural beauty, the Jammu and Kashmir Forest Department has imposed an immediate ban on camping, tent pitching, off-roading and bonfires at Doodhpathri, Yousmarg, Tosamaidan and Hajjin-Brenwar in central Kashmir's Budgam district. The department is also planning to ban plastic items in these areas.
