Bandipora (Jammu and Kashmir), June 19 : Bandipora’s affair with Tongas hasn’t ended in spite of the rest of the world moving towards fast cars and high technology.
People of Bandipora town, which is situated about 80 kilometers from Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir, still use the "Tonga" for transportation.
The Maharajas of Kashmir introduced Tonga here in the 1930s. It was a symbol of luxury at that time.
