| Jurassic Park, right here in Gujarat! RAJA BOSE  TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2003 01:12:39 AM ] |
AHMEDABAD: What was life like in Rahioli, 60 km from here, 67 million years ago, when a 30-ft-long dinosaur ruled the Narmada basin? Get set to find out in Kheda district's Balasinore. Only, the beast stages a return as a robot and in an artificial setting. With paleontologists revealing the existence of Rajasaurus Narmadensis in the Cretaceous period by assembling a dinosaur skull from fossilised pieces found preserved in volcanic rocks in Rahioli village near Balasinore, the state is looking at the find as a gigantic opportunity to package as an international theme park and attract foreign tourists. While an interpretation centre and other basic tourist amenities will be ready by the time Navratri celebrations begin on September 25, major plans are afoot for a theme park that will recreate the period, complete with an automated dinosaur that will move, roar and hunt amidst a prehistoric setting. Balasinore was also one of the tourism hotspots the state government had projected to industrialists during a recent meet to hardsell investment destinations in Gujarat. “Work on the initial tourist facilities will begin in a week’s time and will include setting up an interpretation centre that will present features like evolution of the dinosaur. The route leading to Rahioli will be widened and a cafeteria will be set up for tourists coming in during Navratri,” said Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited managing director DK Rao. The “discovery” has already fuelled aspirations in the region, with people looking to the prehistoric predator to help usher in tourists and prosperity. “Gujarat is fortunate to have a site like this. There is a need to build on this finding to turn the area into a major tourism destination. But, a lot of infrastructure needs to be developed. We do not even have signages leading up to the site right now,” says erstwhile Nawab of Balasinore Salabat Khan Babi, who has worked for over a decade to create awareness about the need to protect the site. The theme park, to be built on a 50-60-acre plot, will not only “relive” the period, but also have an enclosure for wild animals like lions and leopards. Visitors will have the opportunity to pose with fossilised dinosaur eggs and bones for photographs. Log huts will be put up for those seeking a first-hand experience of a pre-historic night under the shadow of the dinosaur. “The theme park needs to be marketed now. Though no budget has been drawn up yet, we are looking at private participation and have also written to international agencies and universities. While the Ahmedabad-Vadodara Expressway will provide road connectivity, we have requested the Western Railway to run a weekend train to the closest station to the site,” adds Rao. |
Indian scientists said the dinosaur embryos in the eggs may have suffocated during volcanic eruptions.
