"Government is only following a policy of environment-friendly infrastructure development," he said after laying the foundation stone for a new four-storeyed guest house at the hill resort town Munnar in Idukki district.
The state tourism department has decided to construct the additional guest house with all state-of-the-art facilities in the heart of Munnar in order to offer more quality services to the tourists visiting the famous hill station.
The new building with 36 rooms in four floors will come up near the old guest house, which has only eight rooms.
