DARJEELING: Although Darjeeling may no longer have the picture-perfect white Christmas of the past, nevertheless, the Queen of the Hills is decked out and buzzing with Yuletide cheer and continues to be a hub of celebrations this festive season.
To add up to the festivities the state Tourism department has illuminated churches in the area.
On December 19, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had remotely inaugurated the illumination of different churches while inaugurating the Kolkata Christmas Festival at Allen Park in Kolkata. The list of churches include Church of Our Lady, Singamari, Darjeeling and MacFarlane Memorial Church, Kalimpong.
"With the state government funds almost 70 churches have been illuminated in the Kalimpong district," stated T Balasubramanian, District Magistrate, Kalimpong.
