Environment minister Jairam Ramesh has asked Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi to make use of the opportunity and present the improvement effected in the management of Manas National Park before the visiting mission in a forceful manner.
“I am writing this letter to personally impress upon you the importance that the Centre accords to the visit of the Unesco mission, as the success of this mission would restore the lost international glory to Manas National Park. May I request you to impress upon the state forest department to present the positive impact, specifically on wildlife population, (to the Unesco mission) in a forceful manner with a view to eliciting a favourable recommendation from them," Ramesh said in a letter to Gogoi on January 13.
