The year 2023 gone by very quickly leaving lots of memories of it in mind and some are in heart. With obvious reason that after Covid days it was the year full of progressive works and opportunities. For our Ranthambhore N.P., it was happening throughout the year. We lost Krishna T - 19 (Natural death) Hamir - T - 104, T - 114 Vijaya & cub, T - 79 & adult cub and two others, T -57 - shinghast, T - 69's cub, Both the sub adult cubs of T - 117. T - 118,137, 38, 54, 138, & 74 were missing since last year. Apart from these sad dismissals and missing tigers news, it was all the happiness around the park. Two cubs of Vijaya are at Abheda Biological Park - Kota as per the decision taken by NTCA committee and doing good. Arrowhead, Riddhi, Noori and Sultana gave a total of 11 cubs to add to the RTR population. Recently the weak health of Arrowhead created pain and worries to her fans across the globe, but at the end of the year she was perfectly fine and the cubs are safe. T - 113 Pie and T - 110 Pandava were translocated to Sariska and Mukundra Hills respectively and they have settled. The Departmental transfer and entry of new CCF Sir P. Kathirwal ji blessed RTR with his unique way of working and positivity helped manage tourism and protection of forest boundaries. The much discussed and threatening Phalodi range and Bodal boundaries are well secured now. P. Kathirwal - CCF Sir in accordance with Mohit Gupta Sir and Sandeep Choudhary ji had taken some tough calls which were disappointing initially but very necessary for the growth of the RTR tourism management in future. Revenue and tourism wise the year was full of colorful domestic as well as foreigner tourists and revenues touched the pick. Lots of renovation and redevelopment works had been completed in the year 2023. Sighting was very good throughout the year which helped RTR attract majority tourists and became the No. 1 Park across the country and added as The World Heritage Site by UNESCO. All our Guide & Driver brothers are safe and sound apart from the unfortunate fatal accident our Sanu met with and died. The growing populations of tigers and increasing tourism tremendously in our Ranthambhore bring more responsibilities for all of us. US - means all the hoteliers, tourism travelers & agents, local traditional & handicraft shopkeepers, vehicle owners, guides & drivers brothers, home guards and the forest department and those who attached with our RTR and are frequent visitors photographers videographers.
It's time to look into the future leaving all the if's and but's aside and for all of us this should be our 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 --- 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐲, 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝.... All the very best ahead in 2024 to all of us...
(Thank you Swati ji & Paraw ji helping me rewinding the year 2023)
