Let us urge with the Env & Forest dept to include East karbi anglong WLs n declare it a very much partof KNP. This will ease burden of the Knp staff guarding the animal that takes shelter in Karbi hills WLS part. I do’t understand why this simple equation is wilfully neglected .
It is absolutely essential that an alternate route like an elevated road is constructed in three to four places that constitute animal migration passages. That should not cost much. Also the raised islands inside the low lying Kaziranga have definitely proven useful. They now have to be planted with indigenious trees and plants.
While I am an animal lover, the question which Nitin Gadkari poses needs an answer.
Can there be crowd funding based on a specific project? I do not know how much money would get collected. But if it is specially meant for say NH 7 connecting Pench and Kanha, has this ever been tried.
All, have you ever been to Kaziranga ? The guide will tell you how the area has been shrinking ! There’s a highway connecting upper & Lower Assam with eateries, resorts dotting all along the road as it passes this sanctuary. You will see a poorly equipped work force, swarming tourists with pepsi cans and tutti frutti, lays potatao chips with women and kids with cheap Chinese colourful hats enjoying the wildlife, poor locals making a living out of this fanfare ……and when all its done, we are talking about space for animals.
I remember about two decades when this hullabaloo wasn’t there, how there was the talk of developing Kaziranga for development of the area with Assam Tourism and Government seminars and news including editorials in the magazines/papers.
Come one, realise that we are extremely short sighted, we all are !! We suck everywhere whenever there is public good and long term planning. We are the THIRD WORLD, it is engraved in our mental state and we need an epoch to change that !
Jai Hind !

Let’s leave the wildlife area for the wildlife. Remove the hotels, leave the roads as they are. We survive because they are surviving.
Let’s just leave them wildlife alone.
