Prime Minister Narendra Modi went on a “safari” at the Bandipur Tiger Reserve in Karnataka on Sunday, as part of programmes to mark 50 years of “Project Tiger “. The Tiger Reserve is located partly in Gundlupet taluk of Chamarajanagar district and partly in H.D.Kote and Nanjangud taluks of Mysuru District.
Located amidst the picturesque surroundings of the towering Western Ghats on the Mysuru-Ooty highway in Karnataka, Bandipur Tiger Reserve is an important part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve that constitutes Karnataka’s Rajiv Gandhi National Park (Nagarahole) to its Northwest, Tamil Nadu’s Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary to its South, and Kerala’s Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary to its Southwest.
One of the highlights of his visit would be releasing the latest tiger census data at a mega event to mark the completion of 50 years of ‘Project Tiger’ in Mysuru.
The event will be organised by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate change.
PM Modi will visit the Theppakadu elephant camp in Tamil Nadu bordering Chamarajanagar district and interact with mahouts and ‘kavadis’ of the elephant camp, later.
