On the basis of that proposal the Cabinet approved the merger of Guru Ghasidas National Park and Tamor Pingala Sanctuary to create Guru Ghasidas-Tamor Pingala Tiger Reserve, official sources said.
The new Tiger Reserve would have a territory of 2829.387 square kilometre, spread across Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur, Korea, Surajpur and Balrampur districts of Chhattisgarh.
Forest and Environment Department has been assigned by the Cabinet to take further steps in that direction, the sources said.
