The minister said work was on to upgrade the heritage tourism website to make it more user and navigation friendly for easy information.
With the new system, visitors would be able to get information about the archeological piece or place by scanning the QR code on their mobile phones, informed the minister. Notably, in what comes as an achievement for the state in the meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) tourism sector, the G20 secretariat has praised the first round of the three-day meetings held in the city.

The new minister in the West Bengal cabinet has no qualms about admitting he too has made compromises in life and with songs. “I had to sing downright bad compositions with a smiling face, at times to make others happy,” he said.
Though there has been no official confirmation on this yet, according to party insiders, Supriyo is the 'most favourite' among the candidates for the post because he is preferred by Trinamul's all-India General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, who is the main decision-maker in the party at present.
Babul Supriyo resigned in August as minister of state for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, following the Union Cabinet reshuffle.
“Since 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has neither appointed any MP from West Bengal as a Cabinet minister nor any Union minister of state, independent charge. Forget about me, even a very senior MP like Surender Singh Ahluwalia has been denied the post of a Cabinet minister,”
Later, Supriya told the reporters that from now on he can sing to his heart’s content. The party supremo and national general secretary will decide what will be his next assignment.
