The West Bengal government has identified a new eco-tourism spot around the Teesta barrage at Gajoldoba in North Bengal, called as Bhorer Alo. The government have already invested Rs100 crores in infrastructure development of that area.
Bhorer Alo would be spread over 201 acre of land that would have the Teesta barrage catchment on one side and a bird sanctuary on the other. Alongside accomodation for tourists and a nine-hole golf course are expected to be set up there. Work is also being carried out to put up a crafts and ayurveda village around the area.
PWD is in-charge for the construction of three connecting roads of 31 km, 9 km and 7 km to the spot. A power sub-station and two huge water tanks have also been developed there.
