Cooch Behar, Dec. 2:
The state forest minister will inaugurate a tiger reserve
centre and bird park at the Rasik-bill Tourist Complex in
Tufangunj on December 26. A brainchild of Mr. Chandi Pal,
the Rasik-bill complex will have a Royal Bengal Tiger and
two leopards at the tiger reserve centre.
Pal said that the park will house different
species of birds available in the region, which will be of
immense help for bird watchers and students to learn about
the avian friends. The Rasik-bill is an attractive tourist
destination – and the road-bridge being built will make
it easier to get there.
A museum is also being built where the visitors
will find objects of local handicrafts and artifacts. Apart
from these, many other things will be added for entertainment
to the visitors. A hospital is also under construction at
the vicinity of Rasik-bill.
