Rajasthan: Ranthambore and Sariska tiger reserves impose ban on private vehicles entry

With increased tiger movement and growing concerns over tourist safety, on Wednesday, the forest authorities of Ranthambore and Sariska tiger reserves in Rajasthan imposed a ban on the entry of private vehicles to visit temples within the reserves. The decision has been taken because of April 16's incident, when a 7-year-old boy from Lakheri village in Bundi was mauled by a tiger in the Ranthambore tiger reserve (RTR). According to the HT reports, the boy was returning from the Trinetra Ganesh temple with his parents and grandfather.
