‘Revenue from tourist spots in Agency should go to them’
Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) Project Officer R. Gopala Krishna has clarified that only local tribals will be permitted to pitch tents at the tourist places in the Agency areas of the district. He was holding a coordination meeting with officials of Revenue, Police, Tourism, Panchayat Raj, Fire Services, Excise, Electricity Departments and tent organisers of Araku, Tajangi and Lambasingi at Paderu on Tuesday.
Mr. Gopala Krishna said that the tent organisers should obtain permission from the authorities concerned and warned that if non-tribal people organise tents in tribal areas on ‘benami’ names, they would be taken to task. The revenue from tourist spots in the Agency should go to the tribal people. He also warned that anyone indulging in anti-social activities in the name of tourism would be liable for legal action.
