Sukhu said, “The cases of forest clearance must be moved without delay so that the work on various schemes like Rajiv Gandhi day-boarding schools and heliports can be started at the earliest.”
He also called for immediate preparatory steps to commence the work on the zoological park to be set up at Bankhandi in Kangra district. He favoured the appointment of an international-level consultant to ensure that the proposed park meets global standards.
Sukhu said bids would be invited shortly to attract leading private players in the ecotourism sector.
