Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has ordered officials to reduce safari activities in Mysuru's forest areas. This directive follows the deaths of three farmers in October, linked to increasing human-wildlife conflicts.
The chief minister highlighted how growing human presence, including resort developments, is pushing wildlife into human settlements for food and water.
Siddaramaiah emphasized that a recent meeting with forest officials has set the groundwork for measures against illegal resorts and will aim to decrease safari operations to mitigate further incursions by wildlife into villages.
