Goa has to declare Mhadei sanctuary as tiger reserve
Former Union environment minister Jairam Ramesh has stated that the Goa government must declare the Mhadei Tiger Reserve by October 24, as mandated by a decision made by the UPA government in 2011. Ramesh explained that since the Supreme Court did not halt the order from the Goa bench of the Bombay High Court, the state government is obliged to implement it. The high court had given the government a three-month period to declare the Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary as a tiger reserve. Ramesh also shared a letter he wrote in 2011 requesting the declaration.
