Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has planned to boost the tourism in Punjab and has said, “Our government will leave no stone unturned to promote Punjab as a world tourist destination. The rich and glorious heritage of Punjabis has attracted people for centuries. Every inch of Punjab's land has been touched by the feet of Gurus, Pirs-Faqirs, martyrs and poets. About one lakh devotees come to Amritsar every day for darshan. Now the state government is focusing on highlighting the special aspects of other places in Punjab. Every village in Punjab has memorials of martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country before and after independence, which needs to be told to the world. Punjab is also a land blessed from the geographical point of view. The state government wishes to take the tourism sector to new heights. No stone will be left unturned in this great task aimed at the progress and prosperity of the state and its people.”
