Bengaluru/ Mysuru: Giving a major relief to wildlife activists who have been protesting to save Bandipur Tiger Reserve from mindless development, the Centre has made it clear that it will not take up the controversial project of constructing elevated corridors that cuts through the Tiger Reserve.
Union Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Dr. Mahesh Sharma answering an unstarred question in the Rajya Sabha recently said that the Karnataka Government has also opposed any construction or lifting the existing night traffic ban through Bandipur Tiger Reserve. The unstarred question was raised by Janata Dal (United) MP from Kerala, Veerendra Kumar.
