The Chambal ravines, once known for dacoits, have now turned into a model for other States after the previous Samajwadi Party Government set up Etawah Safari. Though the Etawah Safari, which comprises lion, deer, leopard and bears is yet to be opened for public due to technical reasons, other States like Bihar, adjoining Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharastra and Haryana have shown their interest in setting up a similar wildlife park in their respective States. A senior official said that officials from Bihar, MP, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Haryana have approached them to get the details of the project so that they can set up a similar safari in their respective States. “Recently, Additional CCF of Chhattisgarh Mudit Kumar visited Etawah Safari to get details about the project, while officials from Maharashtra had contracted us so that a similar Safari can be set up near Nagpur,'' he said. He said that Forest officials from Haryana too contacted them.
