The Supreme Court has formed a three-member committee, headed by the Sariska Collector, to propose solutions to the issues of crowded gatherings and vehicular traffic within the Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan.

The court passed the order in a suo motu case pertaining to TN Godavarman Thirumulpad versus the Centre and an application filed by petitioner Sanjay Kumar.

A three-judge bench of Chief Justice B R Gavai, Augustine George Masih, and A S Chandurkar, on May 30, observed, "The committee shall give a hearing also to the representative of the Trust and arrive at a solution in a phased manner so that the interest of the Tiger Reserve, as well as the concerns of the devotees, are given due consideration." It also directed the State of Rajasthan to immediately ban any illegal mining activities occurring within the core area of the reserve.
