Puttur: Environmental-friendly Tourism in Kudremukh Soon – Palemar


Daijiworld Media Network – Puttur (SP)

Puttur, Mar 22: Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister, Krishna J Palemar, said that environment-friendly tourism is expected to begin in Kudremukh area soon. He explained that at present, certain rules of the forest department have been coming in the way of starting these tourism projects.

Speaking to reporters here on Monday March 21, Palemar said that the tourism department has planned to begin heli-tourism in the area.

He said that use of plastic is being phased out gradually in the state, duly explaining that the temples have been asked to use jute bags in place of plastic bags while delivering Prasadams. Steps are also being taken to replace plastic glasses with glasses made of paper and areca spathes, he added.

On persistent questioning about factionalism in the state BJP, he said he is not disgruntled at the style of functioning of the Chief Minister, and that in politics, he has always remained contented. He felt that the MLAs are in order in attending meetings convened by the state BJP president, noting that even the Chief Minister attends such meetings. He insisted that there is no differences within the state government as reported in a section of the press, duly asserting that the state government continues to be on a strong footing.

    LEAVE KUDREMUKH ALONE !
    I request the minister to leave kudremukh alone and dont force any more tourism there not helicopter traffic at any cost.  Any environmentalist will know how bad helicopter noise and low flying is for wild life !

    At the moment the forest department has the situation fairly under control as they issue time limited transit traffic through the national park and watchmen at sensitive sights.
    I drive through this park regularly and can tell that it is kept so clean and nearly free of plastic inspite of lot of pilgrims tourists passing through kudremukh when they visit Hornad and darmasthala temples.
    Any additional tourism and particularly allowing overnight stay there will do harm to the wild life as its their privilege to roam around frelly in the night will be affected by tourists disturbing them by observing them and the noise pollution etc they might cause.
    PLEASE LEAVE KUDREMUKH ALONE AND DONT INTERFERE POLITICALLY with the nature of kudremukh.
