Himalayan Hospitality and Tourism Development Network (HHTDN) has demanded that Bagdogra Airport, the only airport in North Bengal and Sikkim, not be repaired during the tourist season. HHTDN has contacted the Director of the Bagdogra Airport regarding this. In addition, the chief ministers of West Bengal and Sikkim have also been asked to intervene in this matter. In connection with this, on January 18, HHTDN sent a letter to the Defense Minister of India, Rajnath Singh. Under Air Force control, this airport.

The airport will be closed from 11 to 25

Therefore, a letter has been written again on behalf of HHTDN. This suggests that the runway and other repair work to be done by keeping Bagdogra airport closed from 11 to 25 April 2022 should be postponed. Here, January to June is the tourist season. April is the most important month in that category as well. The tourism industry here generates 60% of the area’s annual income during this time. During such a time, tourists would stop coming if Bagdogra airport were closed for repairs. This will adversely affect the tourism industry of North Bengal and Sikkim, including the Darjeeling Hills region.

For almost two years already, the tourism industry has been adversely affected by the Corona pandemic. Because of this, the repair work on the Bagdogra airport runway, which is supposed to start in April, should be put on hold. In addition, July to August has been suggested as the best time to perform the repairs. The tourism industry here will not be affected much by it.

HHTDN General Secretary Samrat Sanyal explained that earlier also a letter was sent to the Union Civil Aviation Minister, to the Chief Minister of West Bengal, and the Defense Minister of India about the matter. We have once again written to the Director of Bagdogra Airport. By doing so, we will once again call on the Chief Ministers of West Bengal and Sikkim to intervene in this matter. The tourism industry has been urged to think about solving the problems of its people.

“It’s important for me now that I maintain my fitness and continue to practice. I am unable to move to Calcutta immediately due to the surge in Covid-19 cases. As Richa told The Telegraph, Siliguri lacks a proper practice ground and infrastructure.

In addition to the women’s world cup, the BCCI has announced a squad for five One-Day Internationals and a T20 series against the Kiwis.

Richa Ghosh has been selected for all squads. “Earlier, I was determined to do well when selected to play for Australia in ODI matches. I had hoped to make the women’s world cup team, and now I’ve finally achieved that goal,” she said.

In all three ODIs played during September last year against Australia, she was the only wicketkeeper to bat. With his 32 unbeaten runs and 44 runs, Richa also maintained a good position behind the wickets throughout the series. In the Women’s Big Bash League of Australia, she was able to secure a contract with the Hobart Hurricanes due to her performance.

In Siliguri, the subdivisional sports governing body, the Mahakuma Krira Parishad, claims that Richa was well deserved for his selection. “Since she began playing cricket two years ago, she has consistently performed well in all forms. “It is indeed a matter of pride for Siliguri that she has been selected for the world cup team,” he said.
