Build a homestay in Digha and get an instant 5 lakh subsidy from the government

Kolkata. Efforts to make Digha a world-class tourist destination have begun. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari held a long administrative meeting on various issues at the Digha-Shankarpur Development Board in Digha. Several decisions were taken to give Digha-Shankarpur a new and smart look. An outline is being prepared in collaboration with the Tourism, Forest, Irrigation, PWD, Transport, and Environment departments to beautify the 27-km long beach starting from Udaipur. Several new tourist destinations will be developed in Gopalpur, Haripur in Majilapur, Jalpai in Bogra, Dariyapur, and Petuaghat so that middle-class and lower-middle-class families can travel at a low cost. New tourist centers will be built in coastal areas. If homestays are built in the new tourist centers, the concerned entrepreneurs will be given a subsidy of five lakh rupees. Buses are already being started to go from Digha to Mandarmani, Tajpur, and Chandaneswar Temple. Mangroves will be planted along the sea beach. It is alleged that during the previous Trinamool government, the biggest problem in Digha was extortion and the syndicate Raj. But after the change of government in the state, the BJP government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy in this regard. The Chief Minister has ordered strict action against extortion and syndicates. After the change of government, extortion and syndicate Raj have stopped in Digha. If someone wants to open a new shop, they will apply. If someone wants to build a new lodge or hotel, the government will be with them. If they open a homestay, government financial assistance of up to Rs 5 lakh will be provided. A high-frequency center is also being built in Digha for the convenience of fishermen. On the other hand, the snake park in Digha was one of the tourist attractions. The Chief Minister said today that it will be reopened. Along with this, the government also plans to beautify the Amravati Park. Additionally, to make tourist travel easier, there is a plan to start a helicopter service on the initiative of the government. CNG stations and e-bus charging infrastructure will be built.
