Mallika Nadda, spouse of Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda, has turned her pleasurable boat ride to the scenic Paradise Beach into an occasion to make a small contribution to make the place as an unblemished tourist spot.
Ms. Nadda, who visited the Paradise Beach as part of her sightseeing in Puducherry, was both impressed by the fact that the place had been kept neat and clean and was concerned that the Tourism Department had not thought of providing dustbins at the popular tourist spot.
She took the initiative, through the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, 10 dustbins to be kept at the Paradise Beach.
Following this, R. Mounissamy, managing director of the Puducherry Tourism Development Corporation, was invited to Jipmer to accept the offer. The dust bins were formally handed over to the PTDC official on Monday at Jipmer.
Ms. Nadda complimented Puducherry Tourism for making a visit to the city a memorable trip for tourists like her. Jipmer Director Dr. S.C. Parija said the institution was keen to contribute more for the upkeep of Paradise Beach as a clean tourist destination.
