The Hotel Association of Puri (HAP) on Monday said nearly 50 per cent of the hotels in the beach town had restored services. Cyclone Fani had dealt a severe blow to the buzzing tourism industry a month ago on May 3.
A number of hotels in Puri were badly damaged when the cyclone hit land, packing in winds of over 250 kmph. More than 450 hotels, lodges and guest houses, mostly sea-facing, were destroyed. Source:TOI
