Collector throws open Gir at night [1]

Order Allows Temple Priest, Workers And Devotees Access To Sanctuary After Sunset

Ahmedabad: It is official now. You can enjoy a night safari in Girnar, one of the last abodes of the Asiatic lions. Acting on complaints received via the state government’s Swagat online programme, collector Manish Bhardwaj issued directions that the sanctuary gates should be open for temple priests, workers and devotees during the night. This effectively opens them to the common public.
