Sudip Bandyopadhyay’s Supplementary Ques on the govt’s starting a tiger safari in the Sundarbans
Sir, my question is with the hon. Minister. Hon. Finance Minister is also sitting over here. I have a longcherished proposal, which I have been putting over here, for many years. West Bengal has an area called Sundarbans area. It is a jungle area and has a huge tree-cover. There are Royal Bengal Tigers, the famous tigers in the world. In South
Africa if you go for a tour, there is ‘Walk with Lions’ tour. People walk with lions. Similarly, in Sunderban area in West Bengal, the Government can take an initiative. Madam, Nirmala Sitharaman, I want you to consider about a tiger safari in the State. It can be a national safari also. Millions of people who are fond of watching animals, like tigers and lions can go and see them. Lion safari is there but tiger safari is nowhere there in the world. So, Sunderbans cannot be left out. It is not that only when the proposal from the State Government will come, we will
respond. Why can the Government of India not take a proposal of their own that Sunderbans will be considered and will be taken up for formation a tiger safari. It is my humble submission.
