After a gap of more than three months, safari operations resumed at Bandipur forest, near here, on Sunday.
The Forest Department officials have not only brought down the number of safari vehicles, but also reduced the duration of safari.
The forest safari, which had been suspended in the wake of tiger attacks in November, has been resumed following orders issued by the government to resume safari operations, subject to certain conditions.
According to Naveen Kumar, Assistant Conservator of Forests, Bandipur Tiger Reserve Sub-division, the Forest Department had deployed nine safari vehicles, including seven buses and two campers, in the morning session and eight vehicles, including eight buses and two campers, in the afternoon session.
Similarly, Jungle Lodges and Resorts Ltd. has been permitted to operate six safari vehicles in the morning and evening.
Unlike earlier when safari operations extended up to the eight hours a day, Mr. Naveen Kumar said safari had been restricted to five hours daily at present. Safari operations would be held only from 6.30 a.m. to 9 a.m. in the morning session and from 3.30 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the evening session.

In some bus stands, they do not come across as intrusive. In others, they do. In the latter, one wonders if they would not be in the way of commuters embarking on and disembarking from a bus ride.
