“Tiger conservation measures will hamper development”

Opposition to the notification of the government on the demarcation of the core and buffer zones of the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) near here was stepped up on Tuesday in the form of a fast at Gudalur, abutting the reserve. The fast was led by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MLA from Gudalur M. Thiravidamani.
