A comprehensive action plan for tourism development in Puducherry with a focus on boosting revenue to government and job generation has been put forward to the Centre, Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said on Sunday. Addressing reporters after launching a compendium of highlights of her 100 days in office as Lt. Governor of the Union Territory at a function at the Raj Nivas while holding the dual role of Telangana Governor, Dr. Soundararajan said the action plan had recently been presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister N. Rangasamy. The Lt. Governor said that Puducherry held immense scope for tourism-related activities. The expansion of the airport, introduction of chartered chopper services and amphibious aircraft were potential projects to be explored as these would both generate much-needed revenue for the government and jobs for locals, she said.
