    Just like the ECOTOURISM PROJECT of the Forest Department in the SHIVALIKS,the Jungle Safari Project of the Tourism department/Forest dept project in the Arravalis will be an abject failure. Millions and millions of public funds will be wasted through incompetent project consultants and yet no statutory permissions from the ministry of Forests and climate change and wild life board of India will be forthcoming soon under the FC Act andEnvironmentprotectionAct. . False sense of prestige of some politicians and bureaucrats may prevail but it will a fiasco?
