Omitted from Centre's list of iconic places, Odisha Tourism Minister seeks CM Naveen Patnaik's help

Amid the raging controversy over omission of tourist destinations from Odisha, Minister for Tourism, Odia Language, Literature and Culture Jyoti Prakash Panigrahi on Tuesday urged Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to intervene in the matter.

In a letter to the chief minister, Panigrahi stated that though the centre, in its Budget 2019-20, has announced to develop 17 sites as iconic tourist destinations in a holistic manner with focus on connectivity, infrastructure and facilities for visitors, not a single site from the state has been included in the list.
