Yeur entrance of Sanjay Gandhi National Park will remain closed from 11 pm to 7 am – Order of Forest Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar

Mumbai, Dt. 14
Forest Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar has ordered the Forest Department and Police to close the entrance of Yeoor in Sanjay Gandhi National Park from 11 pm to 7 am. Also, the Thane Municipal Corporation has been ordered to put a signboard on the illegal hotel stating that it is illegal.
A large number of illegal hotels have been constructed in Yeoor over the past few years. As the area of Yeoor is part of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, the area is an ecologically sensitive and peaceful area.
Despite this, many hotels are open illegally after eleven at night. Loud loudspeakers are played in this hotel. Also, the hotel is brightly lit throughout the night. Due to this, the tribal residents are claiming that nocturnal animals and birds have disappeared. Also, the residents of this place had to suffer from the vehicles of tourists from outside.
The tribals of Yeur had met Forest Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar through the Forest Rights Committee. A few days after this visit, Mungantiwar held a meeting with the municipal officials in this regard at ‘Sahyadri’ guest house and gave the above order.
