The Government’s direction put before the hotel and resort owners to seek prior permission for organising the sound and music programmes and DJs in the hitherto ‘silence zone’ of the Corbett Tiger Reserve (CTR) landscape in Ramnagar maintaining silence zone norms during the ongoing festive occasions and December 31 celebrations, has found a few takers.
The matter of concern is that the hoteliers and resort owners particularly those who don’t have soundproof system in their establishments, seem to be little worried about seeking prior permission for running sound and light shows and DJs in hitherto silence zone of the CTR landscape in Ramnagar during this festive season ahead or on the occasion of December 31 celebrations.
As the officials concerned have informed only a few have taken permission for organising the sound and light shows.
Only two or three hotel or resort owners have so far obtained permission for organising the sound and music programme, said S S Jangpangi, SDM Ramnagar and in charge of CTR landscape silence zone, Ramnagar, while talking to
The Pioneer.
But we would strictly deal with those who are found violating the guidelines laid down for maintaining silence in this wildlife dominated area of the CTR landscape, asserted Jangpangi.
