Dream to turn Digha into the "Goa " of the east.

   

 Unveiling her ambitious vision, Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, aspires to metamorphose Digha into the 'Goa' of the Eastern coast. An exquisite transformation awaits the beach town, adorned in regal hues of blue and adorned with the brilliance of sunflower yellow. The endeavour aims to surpass the allure of Goa, making Digha, Mandarmani, and Shankarpur the preferred beach destinations for avid tourists. In furtherance of this dream, two majestic gateways shall grace the landscape—one situated on Kolkata - Digha Road in Old Digha, and the other near the New Digha Railway Station. Additionally, a revamp of the Egra to Contai road link is in the offing, enhancing accessibility and convenience.

    Recently, the Digha Shankarpur Development Authority (DSDA) convened a momentous board meeting, marked by a series of resolute decisions to elevate the coastal belt to unprecedented grandeur. Alongside the prominent Digha gate, landscaping endeavors shall extend to two other locations, adorned with the charm of roadside beautification undertaken by the local hotels.

    In an effort to augment the hospitality landscape, a plot adjoining Udaipur beach, a few kilometers from New Digha, shall soon be auctioned to house a coveted three-star hotel. Simultaneously, a budget-friendly hotel shall grace the unfinished structure in Digha, where the top floor will be graciously dedicated to the DSDA.

    Prioritizing the safety of tourists, the authorities shall appoint vigilant 'Nulias' to oversee the well-being of visitors in the aquatic realm, a response to the disconcerting occurrences of recent drownings. Moreover, the construction of an electric crematorium on the route to Digha mohana is on the horizon.

    To expand the recreational offerings, the DSDA intends to invite private players through expressions of interest for the establishment of a captivating rope-way in Amravati Park, an enchanting lure for tourists. Addressing perennial water-logging concerns, the authorities shall undertake drainage initiatives in critical regions, while the forest department assumes a proactive role in expediting afforestation efforts throughout the area.

    Through visionary foresight and strategic planning, the transformation of Digha into a captivating coastal destination is set to captivate the hearts of wanderers far and wide. A tapestry of distinctiveness and charm shall weave its spell, placing Digha firmly on the map as the quintessential gem of the Eastern shoreline.
