Dehradun, 04 December (HS). To give a new dimension to tourism in the Kotdwar region of Uttarakhand, Assembly Speaker Ritu Khanduri Bhushan met Forest Minister Subodh Uniyal on Wednesday and made an ambitious proposal. He has demanded construction of a new jungle safari route via Kanvashram up to Old Laldhang Road, Gularjhala and Mehli Source Watch Tower.
