Bhubaneswar:

Union Minister of State for Tourism Development, Ms. Renuka Chowdhury, has assured Government of Orissa that there shall be no dearth of money for development of tourism infrastructure in the State. The Union Government shall offer major share of the fund, she has reportedly told to Orissa’s tourism Minister S.N.Patro.

According to Patro, Ms. Chowdhury air-surveyed 480 KM coastline from Balasore of Orissa to Vishakhapatnam of Andhra on 31st May taking a note of the biosphere properties and religious antiquities that should be transformed into major tourist attractions.

Development of the vast coastline as a joint venture, Andhra being a partner, would be taken up in right earnest and the Union shall contribute liberally to the venture, she reportedly said.
