"The decision to vacate the interim ban is welcoming. Ranthambore and Sariska tiger reserves will be open tomorrow," Tourism Minister Bina Kak said today.
She said the government had been thoroughly following guidelines of National Tiger Conservation Authority and in future also, it will abide by every direction of court.
"Ban on tourism in the core areas was resulting in loss of the livelihood to people who depend on it and was also a setback for wildlife lovers, but now they all are happy," she said.
The SC decision will prove to be a "blessing in disguise" as it came at a time when tourism season in the state has just begun, she added.
Both the reserves house nearly 59 big cats out of which 27 adult tigers and 25 cubs are in Ranthambore while Sariska has 5 adults and 2 cubs, a forest official said.
With the Centre formally notifying fresh guidelines on tiger conservation, the apex court today lifted the interim ban which was imposed on July 24 on tourism activities in the core areas of tiger reserves.
