Corbett Park reopens for public

Ramnagar, Oct 16 : The Jim Corbett National Park reopened for public after four-months long break during the monsoon.

On its reopening, the wildlife warden of the sanctuary permitted only day-long visit and the preference was extended to school students and tourists from abroad.

Incidentally, the school students had actively participated in the Wildlife Week, which was celebrated recently.

"We opened the park and initially allowed vehicles of school students. Thirty vehicles to tour inside were already booked," said V K Singhal, director, Jim Corbett National Park.

For the school students and youngsters, the reopening of the park turned to be a refreshing experience, particularly after the gruelling schoolwork.
