Forest dept. to tackle safety concerns of tourists at Kakkayam ecotourism spot
The HinduThe Forest department has decided to implement a slew of measures to fortify safety arrangements at the Kakkayam dam site, where tourists have been facing frequent threats from straying wild gaurs. Citing two major gaur attacks on domestic tourists, farmers’ organisations, tourism entrepreneurs, and local administrators have united in demanding a permanent solution. Koorachundu grama panchayat member Poly Karakkada, who initiated discussions with the Forest department on the issue, said the proposed power fencing work could begin on November 20 with financial support from the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development. “As per the agreement, an expert team from the Uralungal Labour Contract Cooperative Society will carry out the work, covering around 18 km of vulnerable spots in the first phase,” he added.
