The Centre is discussing a plan to turn lighthouses into tourist attractions by developing museums, aquariums as well as walking paths to beaches. It has so far shortlisted 71 lighthouses. Shipping Minister Mansukh Mandaviya emphasised on the need to give preference to those lighthouses that have rich heritage value and are over 100 years old.
"The museums will depict the history of the lighthouse as well as how the source of illumination changed over the years."
