• Tiger tourism resumes in reserves

  The Karnataka government on Tuesday allowed resumption of wildlife tourism in the State tiger reserves, after a gap of three months. The Supreme Court had earlier this month lifted the ban on tiger tourism. Official sources in the Forest department said the tourism resumed on October 23 afternoon. “We received official confirmation to resume tourism. We conducted our first safari on Tuesday afternoon,” said a senior official. Officials said there was a good response to safari at Bandipur and that visitors enjoyed good sighting of animals as waterholes were brimming due to good rains last week.
