Mamata Banerjee visits Digha sea beach and outlines her plans

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee visited the sea-beach of Digha and was impressed by it and the tourists who spoke well about the tourist spot. But, she wants still more and issued instructions to her people. As she has said - Digha has everything but it is necessary to create some better infrastructure. Tourists who come, especially couples, must not be disturbed. It is up to the administration to ensure that.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 23 December 2015.

Digha is a well-known tourist spot in Bengal but because of problems like littered beaches, poor road connectivity, absence of a proper walkway along the beach and concerns about safety, tourism has never developed as an organized industry. However, some recent measures that have been taken has given a boost to tourism. One of these is the paved 4-Km walkway parallel to the beach in Old Digha.
Another step taken by the government was the attempt to develop infrastructure around the Udaipur beach along the Bengal-Odisha border. There are also plans to build a road connecting Mandarmoni and Digha through Tajpur. It will be a 20-Km stretch and, once complete, the experience will be better than that of Marine Drive in Mumbai.
Mamata's dream is to turn the beach into one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the state.
