Jungle safaris in north Bengal operational, media spreading lies: Mamata
Kolkata, June 7 (IANS) Rubbishing reports that jungle safaris in the northern part of West Bengal are no longer operational, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday slammed some media houses for "spreading lies".
"Some media houses are spreading lies that jungle safari has been shut down in north Bengal. It is absolutely wrong. It is a deliberate attempt to malign…you can check the records," she told reporters in Jalpaiguri district.
Banerjee, who is on an official trip to north Bengal, surveyed the areas where the government can develop tourism infrastructure.
The Trinamool Congress supremo also announced plans to set up a financial directorate exclusively for north Bengal.
