Demand to ban tourism in Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh
My name is Darbu Singh Uike. I am calling from Kanha national Park in Madhya Pradesh. Under the banner of Gondwana Mukti Sena we organised a rally on 26th demanding ban on tourism in Kanha. The villagers say that earlier there were lots of tigers and villagers were also happy. Now only tourists are happy and both tigers and villagers are disappearing. More than 200 vehicles enter Kanha every day, which causes pollution and forest dept people harass the villagers. This must stop. For more Uike Ji can be reached at 07354737515
