The Supreme Court of India has taken significant action regarding the Corbett Tiger Reserve, addressing issues of illegal construction and deforestation within the park. The court criticized the former Uttarakhand Forest Minister, Harak Singh Rawat, and other officials for their roles in these activities, highlighting a disregard for public trust and statutory provisions. Additionally, the Supreme Court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to submit a status report on the matter within three months. In a related development, the court has allowed the establishment of tiger safaris in the peripheral and buffer zones of the reserve, subject to certain conditions.
