Jaipur: Six electric vehicles which were supposed to be used\nfor leopard safari in Jhalana forest reserve are yet to become operational even\nthree months after they were purchased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the increasing air and noise pollution due to wildlife\nsafari gypsies and canters at Rajasthan wildlife reserves including Ranthambore\nnational park, Sariska tiger reserve, and Jhalana park, Rajasthan\u2019s forest\ndepartment decided to launch electric vehicles for tourists last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior forest department officers said that that the file\nhad been submitted to forest minister Sukhram Bishnoi a month ago. No response\nhas been received from the minister. The eVehicles cannot operate at Jhalana\nwithout his permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forest minister Bishnoi is neither giving the approval nor\npointing out any issues with the launch of the eVehicles, said sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
