Kolkata, Dec 22 (KNN) With the view to boost investment in the state, West Bengal government is considering several projects like setting up of fisheries village, eco-tourism hub and a solar plant for Nayachar, an island on the Hooghly River in East Midnapore District.
 
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, on Monday, went around Nayachar with a group of industrialists trying to figure out the island’s suitability for eco-tourism or other similar projects.
 
Later, addressing a rally at Nandigram in East Midnapore, the Chief Minister said her government was planning to promote an eco-tourism project on the island.
 
“We will see what can be done at Nayachar. We are working on several ideas like a fisheries village, an eco-tourism project and a solar plant. We will discuss and take a decision,” she said.
 
Banerjee, however, firmly ruled out construction of a chemical hub. “We won’t allow any chemical hub there.” (KNN Bureau)
