Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) officials are planning to start the park for morning walkers in the coming weeks. There are close to 8,000 morning walkers registered with SGNP and the park will be opened for people between 5.30 am to 7.30 am. According to officials, a total of three groups will be made and every alternate day each group will be allowed in for a walk and will have to follow social distancing norms and will mandatorily have to wear masks.

Depending on the response from walkers, the decision to open the park for tourists will be taken at a later stage. SGNP officials said that due to lockdown the park was facing a revenue loss of Rs 50 lakh to Rs 75 lakh per month.
