Both Top Slip ...Very disturbed about this decision. Both Top Slip and Mudumalai area are one of the better managed reserve forests. I remember many years ago seeing a sign board delimiting core and buffer zone. How is that all of sudden all area became core zone? <br /><br />Also these forests are well managed. No vehicle traffic allowed from dusk to dawn. No one no vehicle is allowed to go on the road with out an official escort. <br /><br />And they have closed them.<br /><br />And the joke is Kalakkadu forest - No tiger had been sighted in the last 12 years !! For that matter there are no elephants, not much of deer - we stayed there in the nights but could see one sambar for all the efforts !! And they have closed that also as it is a core area of "Tiger" reserve !! <br /><br />In addition they have blocked the access to some of the popular waterfalls which are just adjacent to state highway !!<br /><br />Talk about hitting a fly with a hammer.<br /><br />These forests must be opened nowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
