"This decision will promote tourism, in addition to alleviating safari operators who have suffered severe economic shocks due to the Covid pandemic," he said.
Other people related to their livelihoods will also benefit greatly from the decision, Suhag said. The operator of the Rajaji Tiger Reserve Safari and the representative of the people in the area recently wrote to Suhag asking him to conduct a year-round hunt in parts of the open reserve on the route of the Rajaji Tiger Reserve, Corbett.

Revenues from the Rajaji and Corbett tiger reserves in Uttarakhand have been severely affected by the pandemic. Suhag said such measures will help offset the impact.
