Mysuru: Following repeated incidents of people travelling on the roads that cut through National Parks and Tiger Reserves disturbing animals and indulging in activities like drinking, smoking, taking photos, shooting videos, playing music in their vehicle’s music system and making loud noise, the Forest Department has decided to crackdown on such activities and impose a hefty fine on violators.
Following a complaint by the Conservator of Forests and Director of Bandipur Tiger Reserve Ambadi Madhav about the nuisance created by motorists who often halt inside the forests and create a nuisance, the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) has ordered imposition of hefty fine on irresponsible travellers and tourists.
