Chamarajanagar, Jan 13: The Karnataka State Wildlife Board has proposed to the Centre to notify Male Mahadeshwara Hills Wildlife Sanctuary (MM Hills) as a Tiger Reserve, and it will be the sixth in the state which has highest population of tigers in the wild.
Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, had said that it was heartening that the confluence of the Western and Eastern Ghats that had been under the long terror reign of forest brigand Veerappan for decades, is today a haven for big carnivores with good prey availability. It is high time for the Government to declare MM Hills as a Tiger Reserve.
