Karnataka CM writes to centre on Tiger reserve

Chief Minister Mr BS Yeddyurappa has urged the Centre to take an 'urgent decision' on the fate of buildings and structures belonging to the defunct Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Ltd to enable the State government speed up the process of declaring the Kudremukh National Park as a Tiger Reserve.

In a letter to Union Minister of State for Environment and Forest Jairam Ramesh, Yeddyurappa said that the State Forest Department was examining the Centre’s proposal to notify the Kudremukh National Park as a Tiger Reserve under Section 38(V) of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
