Tourist info counter at Chamba’s entrance soon

Chamba, March 15

Deputy Speaker Hans Raj has asked officials to set up a reception counter at the entrance of Chamba district on the Chamba-Pathankot highway so that the tourists could get information.

He said this while presiding over a meeting regarding the outline of “Chalo Chamba” campaign here today.

Dr Hans Raj said Chamba was in the category of ‘aspirational district’ so the campaign could play an important role in getting it out of the category.

Apart from the people associated with the tourism business, he said the common man should be included in this campaign.

He said rich folk culture, fairs, religious and adventure tourism and traditional crafts and food of the region could attract tourists from abroad. Roads should be better for tourism development. He directed the PWD to improve the road conditions.

Deputy Commissioner DC Rana disclosed that a special mobile app had been developed for the campaign. — OC
