Terming the tourism industry as the growth engine for economic development of the state, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister (CM) Pema Khandu has said that Ziro valley in Lower Subansiri district has huge potential in the tourism industry provided the god-gifted inherent natural charm of the valley is maintained in its pristine glory, reports The Sentinel.
Stating that a road map for tourism in Ziro Valley was the need of the hour for holistic growth of the tourism industry, which would not only benefit the people of Ziro but also the entire state, the CM urged the people to maintain the pristine beauty of the valley.
“The wet rice paddy field along with fish cultivation is the main charm of Ziro Valley, which is unique and nowhere practiced in other parts of the state. Tourists come to see this unique feature, and hence the people of Ziro should refrain from constructing dwelling houses and other commercial structures at the paddy fields”, he said.
