GUWAHATI: Assam's Minister of Tourism Jayanta Malla Baruah cleared up rumours that Dighalipukhuri, the famous tourist site in Guwahati of historical importance, would not be handed over to an outside company. The minister took to Twitter on Saturday and said that the State Tourism Department would still be in charge of Dighalipukhuri. The minister further advised people not to make a fuss about the situation.
In his tweet, he said, "It has been observed that some news concerning the Historical Digholipukhuri has been circulating in certain sections of the media lately. As the Minister of Tourism, I would like to address the people of Assam and assure that there is no plan to hand over the Digholipukhuri to any such corporation. The Digholipukhuri will remain under the administration of the Tourism Department, as it was for so long. The excessive fuss created around the matter is completely unnecessary."
