It will be curtains on resorts around the Bandipur Tiger Reserve, with people in the forest fringes, including elected representatives, raising objections.
The meeting with the locals to discuss the notification of ecologically sensitive zone (ESZ) around the tiger reserve has unanimously decided to put an end to the resort menace, while the existing resorts will not be allowed to expand.
