Statements were passed on bringing foreign tourists and their security

Many foreign researchers reached Ramgarh now. Seeing the situation on the spot, it seems that the public representatives and officials are only limited to giving statements regarding protection and security. Lakhs of devotees reach here on every major occasion from Navratri to New Year. Apart from these foreign researchers also come regarding the crater.

This is the specialty – States first crater of 3.2Km diameter, Bara gets recognition

Conservation of heritage is also being ignored

Mini Khajuraho Bhaddevra is situated here. Among the temple group, only one temple is in perfect condition. Claims & promises were made for its protection, but no attention has been paid. Ancient stones with engravings have been used to build new walls. There is a temple of apurta Krishnai Mataji on the hill. Pushkar Lake in the middle & ancient fort is on both sides of the hill which attracts tourists.

The case of illegal mining & felling of the trees in the Ramgarh crater is not in my notice. If this is being done then it is wrong. By showing this strict action will be taken against the culprits.
