It has come to my notice that wrong information is being circulated regarding “construction” of a so-called “resort” at Tiger Hill.
It is known to all residents that cottages which were already existed at Tiger Hill under the Tourism Dept, had been burnt down during agitations some years ago.
The Tourism Department is merely RECONSTRUCTING cottages on the same site as part of an eco-tourism project.
The issue of “destruction of forest” does not arise because there was no forest there, cottages were there.
Cottages are being reconstructed, with eco-friendly building material as per environmental guidelines. All rules and regulations regarding environment, waste disposal, pollution etc are being strictly adhered to.
It may be noted that a full concrete gallery has been constructed at the Tiger Hill viewing point by the GTA; sanitation and conservancy issues at this gallery are yet to be finalised.
This is for clarification. Residents are requested to keep themselves fully informed and not react to incomplete/ wrong information.
