Nemai Tirtha Ghat in West Bengal to be Renovated
The Nemai Tirtha Ghat, a historical bathing spot in West Bengal, is being renovated.
This ghat is where many devotees take a dip in the Ganges during the Shravani Mela.
The renovation, costing around 2.59 crore, is due to the ghat's dilapidated state, which has caused safety concerns.
The Baidyabati Municipality has started the project with an initial grant of 58 lakh.
The renovation aims to make the ghat safer and more accessible for the large number of pilgrims who visit during the annual festival.
Improvements will include a new road to connect with another ghat and construction to improve civic amenities.
