Guest of Forest Department 17 South Bengal is clashing with North Bengal to attract tourism in Puja. Puja starts in mid-October. Already the booking of guest houses has reached about 80 percent. Most of the guest houses in West Bengal Forest Development Corporation in North Bengal have been booked. Jhargram Hatibari guest house in South Bengal is now full house. According to WWBFDC sources, there are more tourists in North Bengal during Puja. So there is pressure in the guest houses during puja. But this time the booking is going well in South Bengal too. Hatibari Guest House has no more vacant rooms. Most of the rooms of Gardpanchkot in Purulia, Mukutmanipur Guest House in Bishnupur have been booked by tourists. The forest department is hopeful that the rest will be full by September.
Disaster struck North Bengal after last year's victory. Duars were swept away by the Harpa Bun. The tourists canceled the booking. Jaldapara, Garumara went under the water. As a result, Lakshmi lost the office from North Bengal. Many turned away from North Bengal and flocked to South Bengal. Despite losses in North Bengal, the forest department had good income from South Bengal last year. This time also South Bengal is going to attract good tourists during Puja. Bookings in guest houses, tents, cottages of the forest department in Jangalmahal are also increasing. Especially in Nepal, most of the guest houses in Jhargram, Purulia, Mukutmanipur have been booked by tourists. Ace with the answer.
After the disaster, tourist bookings increased in South Bengal. According to department officials, train tickets are not available in North Bengal. Such a big disaster happened recently in Nepal. Last year, disaster struck North Bengal during the Puja season. That is why there is a panic among the tourists about the journey to the mountains. Especially those who want to travel with family do not want to take any risk. In that case, South Bengal is a safe tourist center for them. Meanwhile, the forest has opened for tourists from Wednesday. Safari bookings are also increasing during Puja. The entrance fee to the forest has also been brought back. All in all, the Forest Department is going to collect good money from the hands of tourists this Puja.
