Its heard that fateh singh still wants same treatment he had during his tenure as director there, and the said acf sharma and ranger kala being his close associates being sidelined for their misdeeds and corrupt practices are involved in drafting the said leteer send by fateh singh to hon. minister of forests.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742297772429860848.post-91307226227443784802009-11-15T17:45:35.485-08:002009-11-15T17:45:35.485-08:00This is a good snapshot of how the Indian Governme...This is a good snapshot of how the Indian Government and its bodies operate!<br /><br />Its a disaster. <br /><br />Good Lord, Indians pray everyday....maybe that is what helps them survive their government and its tortures. <br /><br />India is a beautiful country, rotten by its leaders and looted by the greed of politicians. Hardly ever will there be a justification of how funds are used and maybe never will a decision be taken after thoughtful deliberation of weighing all pros and cons.....they only work for money and ways and means of how to corner it, making billions for themselves and leaving the poor animals and the people of the land to struggle and die in misery. <br /><br />I am glad to see someone has taken the time and put in the effort to speak up and create this website....Thank you Sir, hats off to you, Great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742297772429860848.post-13384787661196178822009-11-11T09:20:05.628-08:002009-11-11T09:20:05.628-08:00Hi Mith,

You might soon read Goof up's Part II.. . <br /><br />To bring to your attention, my husband's name is Dharmendra...<br /><br />Also...We had conveyed your message to Mr. Fateh Singh Rathore and he said that the word 'Sahib' is a Persian word which means - friend. <br />Anyway Mith sahib, thank you for reading the blog. .. <br />divyaDivyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516749683956789618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742297772429860848.post-48346857303958791942009-11-09T05:43:13.231-08:002009-11-09T05:43:13.231-08:00Hi Dharmesh and All:

I am concerned about the charges, but without taking sides, some of the problems clearly do not seem to be falling in the domain of Mr Shekhawat. These decisions must have been taken at a higher level. The letter makes it seem like Mr Shekhawat is running the entire Rajasthan forest department.<br /><br />Also... Mr Rathore has addressed Mr Ramesh as "Jairam Sahib". Somoeone needs to tell Mr Rathore that this kind of language disappeared with the British.Ratnabh Wild-in-Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540643360850582429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742297772429860848.post-35291758997278948532009-10-23T10:02:27.900-07:002009-10-23T10:02:27.900-07:00Since I am a government servant, I can't say t...Since I am a government servant, I can't say things like "shoot the F*****" though I may feel that way!

There is a maximum limit of the total number of vehicles which is 40 (any type of vehicles)made by the forest department since few days there is a system in which half big and half small vehicles go in the park these big vehicles are canters. If the canters are banned due to the reason that they are noisy then there is no other vehicle of that size available and the tourist would be sitting outside the park.. .<br /><br />the new canters that they have started are too weak to reach all the areas of the park.. .the department is changing the terrain of the park to use these vehicles, that too using heavy excavators; what can be worst then that?<br /><br />Everyday there are complaints that the tourist were stuck in so and so area and they had to get down and push the vehicle, besides making a 12 seater vehicle a 20 seater.. and setting up a huge body on a smaller chassis makes it unsafe besides you are altering the terrain for this too! <br /><br />Who has detected that the noise should be so and so decibel..i have heard of less noisy diesel canters but equally powerful which can do rough terrain and would not require new roads... <br /><br />As for the Ganeshji temple and the villagers you are completely right but the government has not found any alternate solutions for them too.. .Dharmendra khandalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085268735027611544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742297772429860848.post-91178357117595938752009-10-14T12:32:50.191-07:002009-10-14T12:32:50.191-07:00I completely agree on all points, but one: I just ...I completely agree on all points, but one: I just didn't understand about the canters - are you in favour of diesel canters? I canĀ“t belive so...Should't be any canters at all, they are too noisy, and if there is to be coherence in all actions, as petrol canters do not exist, canters should be banned! (this is the main reason behind the plea for banning diesel canters - it is to ban the canters).<br /><br />Another thing that was very enlightening for me in this list was about the Forest department staff being used for ticket booking job. This now explains why visiting Ranthambhore was such a mess, with that unefficient route system. The route system must evolve together with the booking activity been transferred back the Tourism Department.<br /><br />I see much conflicting concepts in Ranthambhore. Tourisst are considered as a threat, but villagers can go inside the park anytime and there is even a ganesha temple inside the park. The villagers take cattle into the park to graze and instead of putting into jail or rellocating the entire village involved, you keep refunding them for big cat killed - I agree with refund program, but refund can be payed once - if the same village kills another animal they must go out or be punished not refund! Forest Department closes routes and blocks the tourist to enter the park not to disturb the tigers in some cirscunstances but there is mining and temples and construction works and dams being build in the desert and villagers with motorcycles, cattle - what can be more disturbing that that? Poachers do not buy tickets neither they ask to Forest Department which routes are closed...CASSIO LOPES and ALESSANDRA SANTOShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00812430611665587899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742297772429860848.post-21323907114791379832009-10-14T02:16:40.405-07:002009-10-14T02:16:40.405-07:00Phew...what an extensive write-up with action poin...Phew...what an extensive write-up with action points.
