A team of top officials of the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change led by Director General of Forests Chandra Prakash Goyal visited Amrabad Tiger Reserve on Sunday as part of their visit to Telangana and examined the development works being implemented in the tiger reserve.
Mr. Goyal inaugurated the new arch constructed at the entrance of the tiger reserve at Mannanur on Hyderabad-Srisailam road and also the new check-post set up there. Officials of the tiger reserve explained to the visiting team the efforts being put by them to make 70 km distance from Amrabad to Domalapenta plastic free.
They told the visiting team that plastic and glass material left/thrown by tourists and other travellers along the road would be collected by a team of members of the local Chenchu tribe formed for the purpose and taken to the recycling centre set up at Mannanur. It was the first such initiative taken up in the tiger reserves in the country to check the plastic menace which would harm the wild animals.
