India: Bengal govt developing tourist circuit connecting seaside resorts

Digha (WB), Sep 25 (PTI) A development agency of the West Bengal government is setting up a tourist circuit connecting Digha, a coastal town in Purba Medinipur district, with another popular seaside resort Mandarmani along the 29.5 km-long Marine Drive route, an official said.

The Digha Shankarpur Development Authority is executing the project and the work for it is almost complete, he said.

"Due to lack of an integrated circuit connecting Digha, Shankarpur, Tajpur and Mandarmani in the district, it is difficult for tourists to explore the entire stretch in one visit. Hence, people come to one spot only and return.
