Supreme Court warns gives three weeks to States that are yet to issue notification

To protect tigers, the Supreme Court on Tuesday banned all tourism activities in the core areas of the tiger reserve forests. A Bench of Justices Swatanter Kumar and Ibrahim Kalifullah passed the order on a petition filed by conservationist Ajay Dubey that sought a directive to the States to notify the buffer and peripheral areas of the tiger reserves, under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, to prevent tourism in the core areas.
