The state tourism department has written to the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) over the upkeep of the bungalow at Mungpoo associated with Rabindranath Tagore ( Rabindranath Tagore,Museum in Mungpoo ).
The state tourism minister, Bratya Basu, while replying to a question raised by Paras Dutta of Trinamool Congress regarding the maintenance of the house, admitted that the structure needed immediate repair. He said that as the bungalow was under the GTA's control the tourism department does not maintain it.
"The house is important as it is associated with Tagore's life and hundreds of tourists visit Mungpoo every year to see the building. The tourism department is ready to repair and maintain the bungalow properly." He said he would personally look into the matter and start maintenance work at the earliest. (sns)
