Digital Desk: Assam Tourism Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah has cleared the air on rumours that Dighalipukhuri, Guwahati's famed tourist destination, will be given over to an outside entity.

Jayanta Mallabaruah stated in a tweet on Saturday that the Dighalipukhuri would stay under the control of the state tourism department.

Here's what the tweet read, "It has been observed that some news concerning the Historical Digholipukhuri has been circulating in certain sections of the media lately. As the minister of Tourism, I would like to address the people of Assam and assure them that there is no plan to hand over the Digholipukhuri to any such corporation. The Digholi Pukhuri will remain under the administration of the Tourism Department, as it has been for so long. The excessive fuss created around the matter is completely unnecessary."

The minister also advised people not to make a big deal about the situation.
