XDarjeeling: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee urged tourists to return to Darjeeling, noting that visitors have already begun visiting the hills. She mentioned that during her visit, she personally interacted with several tourists.

Addressing media persons in Chowrasta, Darjeeling, on Thursday, the Chief Minister stated that after the flash floods and landslides, the tourist flow had come to a grinding halt. “Two roads are open now, the Pankhabari Road and the Hill Cart road through Tindharia. Repairs of the Rohini road will be complete in the next 20 days. There is no problem. I request the tourists to visit Darjeeling,” she said.

She also announced that ‘green cars’ would soon be introduced in Darjeeling to help elderly and physically challenged visitors reach the Mahakal temple.
