In a miraculous development, waters in the famous Tatapani spring located in the Kalakote tehsil here has resurfaced. The hot water spring is believed to have magical powers of healing certain ailments, including joint pains.

The abrupt gushing of water in the spring has rejuvenated the hopes of those people who believe that muscle, bone and joint maladies are cured by taking a dip in the popular hot spring.

Tourist officer Jyoti Koul said water in the spring had disappeared in the aftermath of the 2005 earthquake. Anticipating that the tourist inflow would increase as the spring water had resurfaced, she said the Tourist Department was geared up to construct tourist huts. Koul said besides a dormitory, the department had planned to raise tourist huts with about 12 rooms.
