Shivamogga MP B.Y. Raghavendra has appealed to Forest Minister Ramalinga Reddy to issue the final notification on the re-demarcation of the Shettihalli Wildlife Sanctuary boundary.
Mr. Raghavendra met the Minister in Bengaluru on Friday and submitted a detailed memorandum on forest-related issues concerning Shivamogga district.
The Union government had given its consent to redraw the sanctuary’s boundary, as it included parts of Shivamogga city. Eshwar Khandre, who earlier held the Forest portfolio, had visited the area for a review.
