Okhla Bird Sanctuary
NOIDA: Despite protests from birders, the forest department has said that the proposed campsite in Okhla Bird Sanctuary will be ready for visitors in just two months.
“We will go ahead with the plan. We have not decided on the charges yet. But the idea is to promote eco-tourism. The campsite is being developed as an Uttar Pradesh Forest Corporation initiative. Booking process and other details are being worked on,” said PK Srivastava, the district forest officer, Gautam Budh Nagar.
The campsite will be able to accommodate 10 visitors at one time.
The bird park got a facelift recently and now, it has bird watching gazebos, a canteen, a boardroom and an office area.
