New Delhi: Terming the night traffic ban in Bandipur Tiger Reserve a complex issue, Karnataka Forest Minister Eshwar B. Khandre has said he will consult Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and seek the opinion of legal experts before arriving at a consensus.

Speaking to the media, Khandre noted that the matter is currently before the Supreme Court. The existing ban restricts vehicular movement from 9 pm to 6 am.
