The Supreme Court has cleared the Kukrail Night Safari project in Lucknow, ending a four-year legal hold on the Rs 1,510-crore development. The project will convert part of the Kukrail Reserve Forest into India's first dedicated nocturnal wildlife park. Officials say the safari will feature enclosures for leopards, hyenas, and other night-active species alongside visitor facilities. Construction is expected to begin once final environmental clearances are processed.
Four years of litigation to decide whether a forest works better with ticket booths and floodlights — our analysts confirm the verdict was always going to favor the option with a revenue model. The court has essentially ruled that biodiversity is best experienced from a golf cart at 9 PM, preferably after a snack bar interval. Conservationists call it habitat fragmentation; the budget calls it a masterpiece of nocturnal asset monetization.
