The Collector along with District Forest Officer (DFO) T Ravi Kiran inspected the site on Thursday to check out the possibility of attracting tourists by introducing eco-tourism activities and arrived at a decision to construct a watch tower for bird watching in the place besides introducing cycling in the forest area and boating in the lake. “It is a picturesque location, we can promote the site as a best tourist destination for the birders, nature and adventure lovers,” he said and suggested formation of a four- member committee in order to protect the nature and wildlife in the area which comes under the Pakhal Wildlife Sanctuary.
