Soon, stay overnight at 'haunted' Kuldhara

JAISALMER: Considered haunted by locals, the historical village of Kuldhara , about 18km from here, may soon transform into a destination for tourists chasing thrill. "Even I tried to stay here with my family, but soon my wife and a daughter-in-law died while my son fell sick. "This is a cursed village and therefore no one stays here at night," said Sumar Bhil , a security guard at Kuldhara. "In a bid to cash in on the stories of the haunted village, the Rajasthan government, in 2015, decided to develop the village with Jindal Steel Works. A popular tourist destination by day, Kuldhara empties out as dusk sets in.
