Speaking to News18, Sanjiv Chaturvedi, director of the Corbett Tiger Reserve said:
Over the years, a ‘VIP culture’ has crept into our polity, where persons occupying influential positions, have started using their official position and powers to create a distinct class for themselves, using their privilege to make undue claims over public resources, for purposes which have nothing to do with the discharge of their official duties.
Spread across an area of around 1,200 sq. kms, Corbett lies on the foothills of the Himalayas and the new laws will serve the purpose of protecting wildlife in the reserve area.
