Residents of Talcher and the surrounding areas will get a major source of entertainment as the State Government is mulling to establish a deer park inside the historic Rani Park at Talcher soon.
Forest Department has already started initiative for establishment of a deer park. Brahmani Anchal Suraksha Parishad president Bibhudendra Pratap Das said Forest Department Special Secretary Debabrata Swain informed this to him during a discussion between them on a demand made by the parishad.
It may be noted that the Rani Park had come up on an jungle area of 514 acre adjacent to Talcher. Boundary wall had been constructed around the land which housed around 500 deer, 50 zebras and other animals and birds. But after the State Government took possession of the whole area by virtue of the land Ceiling Act, employees and mafias destroyed the whole park.
