Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat on Thursday said his government is planning to develop the areas adjoining Kedarnath as a “paradise of tourism". He laid the foundation stone of reconstruction projects worth nearly Rs 115 crore here.
Disclosing his plans to organise a festival in Kedarnath in January next year aimed at luring more and more people to areas adjoining it, Mr. Rawat said: “We want to develop the area as the paradise of winter tourism”. He also said he will soon be writing to his counterparts requesting them to create lodging facilities in the name of their respective states in the area to encourage more tourists from across the country to visit the famed shrine.-PTI
