Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das today directed to develop tourism spots in a planned way and said experts may be chosen for advice, days after legislators in the House demanded to make the state a tourist destination.
At a meeting on development of tourism in the state, Das said experts in the field might be chosen for their advice as development of several tourist spots could prove important in their development.
