Tourism Minister goes back on his words:
Deomali finds no place as an eco tourism site.

 Promises for the politicians and ministers are like piecrusts, made to be broken. How can the Tourism Minister of Orissa be an exception to this rule?

Not so long ago the Minister while on a tour to the Koraput district had declared to include Deomali, the highest peak in the state, as an official ecotourism site. But in the recently released list of sites by the Department of Tourism, Deomali finds no mention. This has resulted in widespread discontentment among the people there.

The list has identified 18 sites to be developed by the State Government as Eco Tourism destinations. And Deomali deserves a place in the list, so feel the people of the region. It has basic infrastructure to support the claim. Two view points, Children Park, a Guest House and steps built to go to the hilltop are some measures already undertaken to promote tourism. It has the potential to be promoted as the stop-out point for the international tourists coming to see the Bonda tribes via Semiliguda from Andhra Pradesh.

The people feel let down by the step-motherly treatment meted out to them by the Tourism Minister. They urge the Chief Minister to intervene to give Deomali its due.
