Tiger tourism ban: Govt gets 4 weeks to finalise plan
Meanwhile, the ban in 41 tiger reserves by the Supreme Court will continue.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has given the Environment Ministry four weeks to finalise eco-tourism guidelines in the forest and non-forest areas. It has also asked all stakeholders to submit their comments within a week. Meanwhile, the ban in 41 tiger reserves will continue.

The apex court had earlier slammed the government for its re-think on the ban on tourism in core tiger areas. The Centre's affidavit had virtually urged the apex court to review its July 24 interim order banning tourism in the core areas of the wild cats until final orders.

It claimed that the ban on tourism could result in not only loss of livelihood to several persons but also pose threat to wildlife and forests in the country.
