The INDIA selfie point provides visitors with an engaging environment symbolising a sense of nationalism in the region, they said.
The army had last year opened ‘Kaman Setu’, zero-point at the LoC here, for tourists. The selfie point was opened for the public around the Republic Day this year.
The selfie point is the brainchild of artist and RNAF founder Rouble Nagi. It has been positioned strategically along the National Highway-44 and the structure offers a panoramic view of the picturesque Jhelum river, enhancing the pride of the locals as well as the tourists, the officials said.

Nagi said sculpting the name of the nation through her art installation is a tribute to the sacrifices made by various sections of society for the country’s freedom.
”Nothing feels better than sculpting the name of my nation through my art. Proud to install my sculpture #INDIA at Uri, a remote border region,” Nagi, daughter of a retired army officer, said.
”How blessed we are to be free. Our children need to know the sacrifices that were made by so many to protect the freedom we enjoy today,: she said, urging people to include Uri as their tourist destination.
Nagi has been instrumental in making selfie points in Kashmir which included one at the revamped Polo view market, Rajbagh and Dal Lake.
