Mangaluru, Jan 1: Popular tourist spot of Mangaluru, Pilikula Biological Park, which was declared as authority, is all set to function in its new role.
All preparations are being made from January 2021 in order for this tourist spot to function as an authority. From April 1, when the new fiscal year begins, it will function as an authority in full scale.
Pilikula was declared as authority way back in 2018. Though Pilikula has enormous opportunity to be the main tourist spot, it is tied up because of its society status and not becoming an authority.
