Tourists will have to pay a fee of Rs 252, which includes the entry fee of the biological park of Rs 52. This tiger safari was prepared three months ago at a cost of Rs 4.5 crore in 30 square hectares of land. However, the officials did not show interest in starting it, recently this issue was raised prominently, after which the responsible officials became active and a blueprint was prepared to start it.
Will start with old vehicles
The old canter already operated will be used in Tiger Safari. Although tenders were floated for new vehicles, their arrival will take time. Forest officials say that old vehicles will be used for now. Wildlife experts say that these vehicles have been destroyed, but are still running due to the connivance of the authorities. It is necessary to remove these, because they often keep getting spoiled.
