Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday experienced the thrill and wonder of wildlife during a jungle safari at Corbett National Park. He remarked that this experience was not just about witnessing the beauty of nature, but also an opportunity to connect with the invaluable heritage of biodiversity and the natural world.
The Chief Minister stated that due to continuous efforts by the state government, jungle safari tourism has gained a new identity in Uttarakhand. A large number of tourists from across the country and abroad are visiting the state, which has significantly boosted the tourism-based economy.
