Sagar Island, Dec. 10 :    Sagar Island, Dec. 10:  The South 24-Parganas administration has decided to construct a marine park here to attract more tourists during the annual Sagar Mela in January. Officials said the government has sanctioned Rs 1.93 crore for the Sagar Marine National Park. A team of officials is expected to visit the site early next week and work is scheduled to start by the month-end. According to the blueprint, the park will be divided into three sections - buffer, estuary and wilderness zones. The buffer zone will be about 3 km and fishermen will be able to go there with trawlers. In the estuary zone, only country boats will be allowed as mechanised vessels may unsettle the breeding process of fish. The 16-km wilderness zone will be used for breeding a variety of fish. The park will offer a safe haven for rare fish, crocodiles and birds. The marine park, expected to be spread over 50 sq km, will cover four other islands - Chemaguri, Gangasagar, Dhablahat and Shibpur. The park will have accommodation facilities for tourists. It will also have a research centre and aquariums. Luxury buses will be available from Diamond Harbour to take the tourists to Hardwood Point. From there, launch services will take them to the park. Ganesh Pal, karmadhakshya of South 24-Parganas Zilla Parishad, said: 'The park will draw a huge number of tourists.'
