South 24 Parganas: New Jetty and Embankment to Boost Tourism, Costing 16 Crore

• A new jetty and river embankment will be built in Sitarampur, South 24 Parganas, at an estimated cost of nearly 16 crore rupees.
• The project aims to make travel to Gobardhanpur, including G-Plot, easier for tourists, expecting a surge in tourism.
• A permanent concrete embankment will replace the existing 172-meter-long earthen one, providing a solution to erosion and natural disasters.
• The region, frequently hit by cyclones like Aila, Bulbul, Amphan, and Yaas, will benefit from a strong, new technology-based structure.
• The new jetty will allow direct disembarkation at Sitarampur, reducing travel time to Gobardhanpur beach; completion expected in six months.
