Corbett National Park Bans Smartphones During Safaris
Corbett National Park in Uttaranchal is going to stop people from using smartphones during safaris.
This is because the Supreme Court said so, and the park wants to keep the animals safe and make the visit better for everyone.
You won't be able to use your phone, but you can still take pictures with a camera.
This rule will apply to all areas of the park, including popular spots like Dhikala and Jhirna.
The park says that phones can bother the animals and mess up their natural behavior, so they want everyone to follow the new rules.
Corbett Tiger Reserve bans smartphones during safaris to protect wildlife and enhance visitor experience.
The ban follows Supreme Court guidelines and will be implemented across all 15 tourism zones.
Tourists can still use cameras for photography and video recording.
Mobile usage is believed to disturb animals and disrupt the forest ecosystem.
The ban applies to all visitors, guides, drivers, and staff in the park.
