Two proposals have been shortlisted for a ‘safari park’ in the Aravallis in Haryana, and the state government is likely to zero in on one of these design proposals next month, according to a senior official in the Haryana Tourism Department.
This comes a little more than a year after the Tourism Department floated an ‘expression of interest’ inviting design proposals from agencies with expertise in designing or building and operating such facilities worldwide. The safari is proposed to come up on around 10,000 acres of land in the Aravallis in Gurgaon and Nuh.
