  • I am kiransinh i have visited Bhopal and stayed for six months. Beautyful city of lakes and hilly lands. ksinhbapu@yahoo.co.in. Thanks to google for having my view.
  • My Co sister's husband was staying here earlier then they moved to bangalore. he related all stories, facts about this city. Bhopal gas tragedy took place here and now is recovering from that ghastly incident. Itarsi is a notorious place here this I came to know when I travelled to New Delhi via Itarsi. Many beautiful temples are around this state, and needs more diligent care in maintenance of these old monuments. State government is working hard in keeping this place a tourist spot. My apeal to all the citizens is to cooperate with the agengy like Archeological dept etc to keep everything in control.
