State wildlife board approves proposals previously cleared
Jaipur: The 15th meeting of State Wildlife Board (SBWL), held under chairmanship of CM Bhajan Lal Sharma Monday, approved 65 wildlife-related proposals that were previously cleared through circulation, along with 24 new proposals.
Among the key decisions was the approval of the alteration (rationalisation) of the boundary of National Chambal Gharial Sanctuary in Kota, extending from the hanging bridge to the Kota barrage. The board also cleared the diversion proposal required to establish a Nature Interpretation and Exhibition Centre at Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve.
A senior official said other important approvals include the widening and strengthening of Myajilar-Jaisalmer section of NH-11, which passes through the Desert National Park and its Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ).
Similarly, the Sundra-Myajilar section of NH-70, also passing through the Desert National Park's ESZ, will be upgraded to a two-lane highway with paved shoulders under the Bharat Mala Project. Re-approval was granted to the Kaliteer Lift Scheme in Dholpur, located within the National Chambal Sanctuary and the Dholpur Wildlife Sanctuary, the core area of the Dholpur Karauli Tiger Reserve.
"The proposal was deferred earlier during the 82nd meeting of the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife (SC-NBWL) held on March 12, 2025.
