The light house at Pulicat, fifty kilometres away from Chennai city has got a fresh lease of life this holiday season.The lighthouse was recently reopened to the public along with the other lighthouses that have been receiving huge patronage, in the city.
On Wednesday, around 500 families drove to the coastal hamlet to experience the pristine beach and climb up the lighthouse. The hamlet used to attract a limited number of tourists on holidays, and during festivals and the bird-watching season. The lighthouse has now resulted in an increase in the numbers.
Visitors, however, wish the facilities for tourists will improve. They are seeking more toilets, seating arrangements, improved lighting and shelters in the vicinity of the lighthouse. They also want grilles atop the lighthouse.
