UP Forest Corporation completes 50 years, discussion on tourism including forests and valleys in the program

Lucknow / Anjali Singh Rajput: Why do people of Uttar Pradesh go to visit the mountains, when there are many dense forests here too. For example, how many of those who go to Chitrakoot know that this district has Ranipur Wildlife Sanctuary, which is UP’s fourth and the country’s 53rd Tiger Reserve area spread over an area of ​​230 kilometers. Why don’t people going to Ayodhya see the beauty of Katarnia Ghat? Why are the tribals not being connected to organic farming? All these questions have been raised by Environment and Forest Minister Arun Kumar Saxena.

On the completion of 50 years of Uttar Pradesh Forest Corporation Foundation Day, a program was organized at Hotel Clark Avadh on Thursday. During this, issues like forest fires, death of lions and tigers or their becoming man-eaters were also discussed.

There is no better forest than Sonbhadra
