Digha Gets Wings: Bengal’s New 27-km Coastal Tourist Haven

In a major boost to regional tourism, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced a comprehensive plan to develop a 27-km coastal corridor stretching from Talpati to Udaypur in Purba Medinipur. Designed to offer high-quality, affordable vacation spots for middle- and lower-middle-class families, the project will feature new helicopter connectivity to Digha and a ₹5 lakh incentive scheme for local homestay operators. Led by the Digha-Shankarpur Development Authority (DSDA) in collaboration with multiple state departments, the initiative aims to modernize coastal facilities and generate significant employment opportunities across coastal communities.
