Kolkata: In a bid to attract more tourits, the state Tourism Department is planning to start a world class project in the Sunderbans under public-private partnership model and will also start a Tiger Project there. “
We have got a big area in Sunderban and want to start a new tourism project in Jharkhali area.
It will be done on a PPP model. It will be a kind of resort or cottages that will be made as we can't create any concrete structure there,” state Tourism Minister Krishnendu Narayan Choudhury said.
