Kukrail night safari project : NGT issues notices to Union, state ministries, office of PCCF
Hindustan Times[email protected] NGT was hearing a petition raising concerns over the proposed felling of trees in the Kukrail reserve forest for the night safari project and shifting of the Lucknow zoo there. The National Green Tribunal has issued notices to the Union ministry of environment, forest and climate change, the state government’s department of environment, forest and climate change and the office of the principal chief conservator of forests on a petition raising concerns over the proposed felling of trees in the Kukrail reserve forest for the night safari project and shifting of the Lucknow zoo there. Lucknow-based social activist Alok Singh has approached the NGT raising concerns over the night safari project at the Kukrail reserve forest in the state capital for which around 1500 trees are proposed to be felled. A detailed project report of the night safari, coming up on a 900-acre maple leaf design in the 2027.46-hectare Kukrail forest, was presented before chief minister Yogi Adityanath on November 19, roughly two years after its digital survey in December 2022.
