PTI Many tourism projects are incomplete: House report
TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Nearly a thou- sand of the 1,563 tourism projects sanctioned during the Ninth Five-Year Plan re- main incomplete. This ‘‘dismaying’’ figure is highlighted in the latest re- port of the Parliamentary standing committee on tourism, tabled in both Hous- es on Thursday. MPs say they are unable to buy the arguments given by the tourism department — lack of coordination between ministries and state govern- ments and a low level of mon- itoring. These projects were worth Rs 372 crore. The committee, chaired by CPM MP Dipankar Mukher- jee, also found the tourism department couldn’t use the funds it allocated for the North-East in 2002-03. Much needs to be done to explore the region’s tourism poten- tial, notes the committee. This year, Rs 32 crore has been set aside for projects in the north-east. The commit- tee recommends the ‘‘highest priority’’ to tourism-related developmental work there. Given the state of the 1,563 sanctioned projects, the com- mittee has suggested that MPs be involved in identify- ing, developing and monitor- ing tourist destinations in their states to avoid delays and cost over-runs. The committee says the de- partment of tourism just hasn’t done enough to pro- mote the sector.
