The Uttar Pradesh government is set to develop a large-scale deer park (deer enclosure) in Noida. The park will be built on 30 acres of land with an investment of ₹40 crore. The project also includes plans to import deer from several African countries. Officials have stated that the initiative will serve as both an entertainment and educational hub for Noida residents.
The Noida Authority has already allocated the necessary land and approvals for the project. However, the plan has sparked controversy among locals. While some argue that the project could harm the environment and increase the risk of disease transmission through imported deer, others believe it will enhance the city’s aesthetic appeal and boost tourism.
Under the project, the deer park will feature various species of deer, which will be imported from African nations such as South Africa, Kenya, and Namibia. Authorities have assured that special arrangements will be made to ensure the safety and well-being of the imported deer.
Construction is expected to begin soon, with completion anticipated in about 18 months. The project is expected to boost tourism in Noida while providing entertainment for residents. However, there are growing calls for the government to address environmental and local concerns before proceeding.
