| Abstract: | One of the most popular sea resorts of
West Bengal, Digha, is fast becoming a victim of soil erosion. Massive coastal
erosion, to the extent of 15 to 20 metres a year, has led to loss of land and
property. Digha, which has nearly 400 hotels to accommodate the great rush of
tourists round the year (over 16 lakh tourists every year), has almost reached
a saturation point. |
