Masinagudi: Tourist vehicles banned on Mayar road
The Forest Department has banned tourist vehicles from certain roads in the Masinagudi area of the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve to protect wildlife.
The Forest Department has imposed a ban on tourist vehicles on the Mayar, Singara, and Vibuthimalai roads within the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. The decision follows concerns about disturbances to wildlife and tourists engaging in risky behavior for photography.
Incidents of wildlife disturbances and elephants chasing vehicles have increased recently. The ban takes effect from July 20. Only local residents' vehicles and authorized jeep safaris will be permitted to use these routes.
