Hazaribag bans picnicking in wildlife sanctuary and dam to protect environment

The Hazaribag wildlife division has banned picnicking in the Hazaribag Wildlife Sanctuary and Shalparni Dam to protect eco-sensitive areas. Visitors can still access designated tourist zones. The ban aims to prevent forest fires and wildlife disturbances, especially due to increased tiger activity. Local tourists are disappointed, especially with Christmas and New Year approaching. The ban aligns with Supreme Court and state government directives to reduce pollution from picnicking.
