Hallo Dinesh ji and others, Dineshji, what you say is correct: Those who stop by and read, already know the matter, Those who would know to read may hardly stop by. and perhaps there are some who cannot read. In fact one doesn't need any boards, it is self-evident, how to behave in these areas. Pankaj ji has suggested that it can be proposed to the Forest Department. One more thing is that peopel approach to the state government and to the national Govt. and suggest that the locarion should be included in the world natural heritage. India has so far following places included and I think India has much more to offer. I don't know, if local people are aware of the wealth, they are having and that they should save it otherwise the next generation will have lost everything. a.. Kaziranga National Park b.. Manas National Park c.. Keoladeo (Bharatpur) National Park d.. Sundarbans National Park e.. Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers National Park taken from http://www.eoearth.org/article/Natural_World_Heritage_Sites_%28collection%29
It is really apity, to read all your mails. I know, it will not comfort you, but in socalled adavnced countries like Germany we have similar experiences. It is just that there are people who also do something to stop the vandalism. Well, I hope things go in a better way.

Those who would know to read may hardly stop by. Those who stop by and read, already know the matter. Regards.

Some times educated people behave in such absurd manner that any awareness program doesnt work!! And then they point fingers at the government about not keeping the area clean.
