Aravalli's Jungle Safari: A Green Dream or Environmental Nightmare?

Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav assured that the ambitious zoo safari project in Haryana's Aravallis would face no hurdles, thanks to firm backing from both the Centre and the state administration.

Slated to become the world's largest safari park, the project covers 10,000 acres in the Aravalli range, promising a natural oasis just outside Delhi. The government vows seamless progression despite environmental concerns from former forest officers and environmentalists about ecosystem disruption.

Yadav underscored the project at a 'Maitri Van' inauguration in Gurugram, highlighting the PM's Mission LiFE, which promotes sustainable resource usage. He appealed to citizens to engage in greening initiatives, such as tree planting, emphasizing public responsibility in environmental stewardship.
