Chief Secretary RP Mandal on Sunday visited the Ramgarh caves, Maheshpur temples in Udaipur block of Surguja district and Sitamadhi Harchowka Shiva Mandir in Korea district to review the progress of ‘Ram Van Gaman Path’ being developed in state.
After the visit, Mandal asked officials to prepare a working plan for developing approach roads, food and lodging facilities as well as entertainment avenues in the region.
At Sitabengra and Jogimara caves of Ramgarh, he appreciated the natural beauty of the place and directed officials to spruce up the place as a tourist attraction. The chief secretary also directed officials to expand the venue where ‘Ramgarh Mahotsav’ is held every year.
Later at Maheshpur, he asked officials to develop a water-front at the Ren River and also construct 20 cottages.
Mandal said both places were important part of ‘Ram Vangaman Path’—the path travelled by Lord Ram during his exile.
