To learn about wild life management
Forest Minister Vikram Usendi and about six of his department’s officials will go on abroad tour next month to learn about wild life management. Chief Minister Raman Singh has given approval to Usendi’s tour and Centre is also likely to nod for it in next couple of days.
The foreign tours of Raman Singh cabinet will continue next month. After, CM and six of his cabinet ministers, it’s time for Usendi to explore foreign methodology to improve the wild life management of the state. He will also study how the foreign countries deal with environmental and climatic changes in jungles besides wasteland development.
According to information, Usendi’s tour will begin in mid November. In the tour, he would be accompanied by Additional Chief Secretary Narayan Singh, Principal Chief Forest Conservator Dhirendra Sharma and two officials each from Forest department and Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA). Usendi and his team will tour South Africa, Kenya, Belgium and Brazil.
Notably, the opposition has continuously charged that the government had done little for the state’s wildlife and jungles. The government has been promising continuously for the past couple of years that it would develop elephant reserve in Sarguja division considering rising terror of wild tuskers, however, much more has to be done in this connection.
Usendi and his team aim to learn techniques of developing elephant reserve, tiger project and jungle safari in the state. Notably, the government is also planning to develop a jungle safari in Mana-Tuta, just a few kilometers away from the capital city. The Forest officials think that Usendi’s tour would surely give wider aspect to the department regarding overall wild life management.
