While reviewing the progress, the Chief Minister directed officials to construct a comprehensive park at the Digha Tourism Ghat. He also instructed that the ghat be converted into a permanent (pucca) structure and that proper arrangements be made for Ganga Aarti, so that a large number of visitors can enjoy the experience. Emphasising the importance of tourist facilities, Nitish Kumar said that basic and quality amenities should be developed for tourists who come here for boating and leisure on the Ganga.
