Chhattisgarh Tourism Minister Tamradhwaj Sahu on Monday said the state has tremendous potential to woo tourists.
He said this while reviewing a meeting of the department here.
Sahu said that under religious tourism, soon the places of Rajim and Sitamarhi (Harchowka) would be dedicated to public under Ram Van Gaman Path.
A fund of Rs 137.45 crore has been sanctioned for a work plan to develop places under Ram Van Gaman Path, he said.
The government has facilitated the place with better connectivity and electrification along with arranging other amenities required for a tourist place.
A total of 51 places have been identified as spots from where Lord Rama travelled during his exile. All these places would be developed in the first phase besides Chandrakhuri and Sheorinarayan (Janjgir-Champa).
They include Sitamadhi-Harchowka (Koria), Ramgarh (Surguja), Turturia (Balodabazar-Bhatapara), Rajim (Gariaband), Sihava (Dhamtari) and Jagdalpur (Bastar).
