Patna,(BiharTimes): To attract more and more eco-tourists the officials of Valmikinagar Tiger Reserve in West Champaran district have sent proposals to the Bihar government for undertaking works to improve the infrastructure there.

The proposals include improving the condition of forest roads falling under Division-II of the Tiger Reserve. “We have sent a Rs 30-lakh proposal to the state government for undertaking this work,”
Valmiki Tiger Reserve director J P Gupta was quoted in the Times of India as saying. He said a similar proposal to improve the condition of roads in Division-I of the reserve would also be sent to the Bihar government very soon.
He said good roads are a must in order to attract tourists to the Tiger Reserve.
“The present condition of forest roads in the reserve has proved to be major deterrent for attracting tourists. Even those who visit the reserve don’t get the opportunity to move around in the forest area and enjoy nature’s endowment,” he said.
The also plans to submit proposal for enhancing the accommodation capacity of the Reserve’s rest house which presently has capacity to accomodate only four persons at a time.
