In 2022, on reading about the proposal from GoK to NTCA to upgrade MM Hills Wildlife Sanctuary into a Tiger Reserve, I had asked the following questions in an RTI application. ![[Screenshot 2025-10-30 at 12.07.28 PM.png]] Their main response was as follows and eventually due to lack of repsosne to this, I appealed and teh appeal eventually led nowhere in terms of actual public hearing docuemnts or the revenue authority's clearance on settlement or rights. So, when I saw that the FD is askign for public hearings on this matter, I was intrigued. 1. How was a Tiger Reserve proposal submitted to NTCA/GoI in 2021-22 if public hearings were never held? 2. Is the current effort at public hearing an effort to right that wrong? Is that previous proposal fallen through? Unlikely to know because the proposal itself is not in public domain! ![[RTI Application.pdf]]![[Screenshot 2025-10-30 at 11.52.04 AM.png]]
