Open Vehicle Safari Launched at Jungle Lodge

Kushalnagar, May 24: In the wake of the recent incident where a tourist woman died in a fight between two elephants at Dubare Elephant Camp, Forest Minister Ishwar Khandre has issued several important orders for the safety of tourists.

Tourists have been banned from all elephant camps in the state, including Dubare Elephant Camp, until SOP rules are implemented for the safety of tourists.

In the meantime, open vehicle safari programs have also been canceled and orders have been issued.

However, the officials of the Jungle Lodge located at the Dubare Camp have continued to take tourists on safari in open vehicles without bothering about this. There are a total of 18 rooms in Dubare Jungle Resort, and all the rooms are filled with guests due to the weekend. A total of 8 open jeeps are available for safari at this tourist center, and tourists staying at the Jungle Lodge are being taken for an hour in the morning and 2 hours in the evening for a distance of approximately 25 kilometers for wildlife viewing.

On this occasion, all kinds of wild animals including tigers, leopards, and wild elephants are common in the Dubare Reserve Forest. According to the officials, many dangerous wild animals including tigers, elephants, and leopards are constantly seen in this forest, as is the case in the Nagarhole and Bandipur forests.

Although Forest Minister Ishwar Khandre has issued an order making it mandatory for safari vehicles to have a bar or hard glass, the locals are surprised that only the Dubare Jungle Lodge officer and staff have maintained divine silence without taking any precautions. When 'Shakti' contacted the Dubare Jungle Lodge officials regarding this, they said they had not received any orders. They responded that tourists have continued to go on safari in open jeeps in the Dubare Reserve Forest in the morning and evening as usual.
