Experience Bengal - Jamuna Dighi
A sprawling 25 hectares in Jamuna Dighi (Bardhaman District) is used for pisciculture under the State Fisheries Development Corporation. There are thirty-nine fishing ponds and a long, narrow canal - all in a row. Big carps (freshwater fishes) are cultivated here. People from the fisheries department regularly drop huge nets in the ponds. Rui (Rohu), katla and mrigel are the common catch.
A part of the area has been turned into a tourist spot. Former office buildings have been transformed into rest houses, with modern facilities. Amrapali Tourist Complex offers good accommodation. In true sense, the place is a picture of rural tranquillity and offers the perfect destination for a quiet weekend.
Jamuna Dighi is 7km from Mankar station on the Howrah-Asansol section of Eastern Railway and 13km from Paraj on Durgapur Expressway near Panagarh.
