The Madhya Pradesh Government is yet to issue final notifications for 10 national parks, leaving them vulnerable to encroachments and endangering wildlife, RTI findings have revealed.

The final notification confirms the extent of a national park, enabling the forest department to protect its boundaries. Some of these parks were established decades ago, yet their final notifications remain pending.

Among those awaiting final notification is Kuno National Park. The others include Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Panna, Satpura, Madhav, Sanjay, Van Vihar, Fossil and Dinosaur national parks.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
