India’s first night safari gets SC nod: What the Kukrail project will offer
The Supreme Court approved the ₹1,510-crore Kukrail Night Safari project in Lucknow, marking India's first night safari and the world's fifth. The project, located within the ecologically sensitive Kukrail Reserve Forest, aims to enhance eco-tourism with theme-based zones and battery-operated vehicle tours. Following four years of scrutiny, the project is set to develop over 855 acres and will include naturalistic habitats and forest trails for visitors.
