Subject: harmful effect of tourism on Kaziranga National Park.

Sir

Through the column of your esteemed newspaper I would like to draw the kind attention of concerned authority towards harmful effect of tourism on Kaziranga National Park, Assam.

Kaziranga National Park is a pride possession of Assam habituating different species of flora and fauna. It is the only place where one horned rhinoceros are seen. So, it is always been a place of attraction to the tourist from all over the world. But so often tourists are seen exploiting the facilities available in Kaziranga and spoiling the environment of the national park.

I along my family and a few friends visited Kaziranga last month. It was a great pleasure for us. But we were deeply grieved to see tourists littering the place with non-bio-degradable plastic packets and wrappers.  We saw few of the tourists providing food to the animals and some others using firewood from the wood to make fire. A few of them were playing loud music scaring animals. I believe these activities of tourist may harm the environment and biodiversity of the park.

Considering it a matter of great concern I felt like writing a few lines to the persona. I hope to see a constructive response from the authority and tourist as well.

Thanking you.

Yours faithfully
