Jharkhand to boost tourism at Dimna Lake with angling and water sports

The Jharkhand government is working on plans to host a maiden 10-day fest for tourists at the picturesque destination of Dimna Lake situated around 13km from the city, from December 25. The idea is to promote tourism at various locations of East Singhbhum.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 20 November 2016.

The state tourism department is planning this along with the district administration and, if it becomes successful this year, it may be held in coming seasons too. The tourism secretary is also discussing possibilities of putting up tents for night halt at Dimna Lake. There could be angling activities also and talks are on with the experts of Jamshedpur Angling Club. Moreover, water sports could be on the cards after getting the nod from Tata Steel Adventure Foundation.
The tourism plans include development of infrastructure at Burudih Lake and Galudih Lake, both in Ghatshila, around 45km from Jamshedpur. This could be taken up under the Centre's Swadesh Darshan scheme.
